In this podcast I get down to business with Robert Smith, the creator of Coalton, a language-within-a-language for Common Lisp. We cover a bunch of things, including:
LISP through the years
REPL-driven development (and why you might not always want a REPL attached!)
What makes Common Lisp special
How Coalton brings a powerful, Haskell-like type system to Common Lisp
Writing efficient code without turning your beautiful Common Lisp code into pulp
Had I given my podcasts titles, this one could be called "Much Ado About Macros"

Toward safe, flexible, and efficient software in Common Lisp
