What are the main differences?

[–] Pipoca@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Emacs is a bunch older than common lisp.

One of its more idiosyncratic design decisions was using dynamic scope, rather than lexical scope. They did add in per-file lexical scope, though.

It also just doesn't implement a lot of common lisp's standard library.
