Scott L. Burson has released Modern Common Lisp with FSet, a comprehensive guide to using functional data structures in Common Lisp via the FSet library. The document covers tutorials, design principles, and practical examples for immutable collections like sets, maps, and sequences. It emphasizes pure functional programming techniques and includes technical depth on data structure implementations and performance considerations.
Background
FSet is a popular library for Common Lisp that provides persistent, functional data structures, enabling more idiomatic functional programming in Lisp environments. Common Lisp has traditionally emphasized imperative and object-oriented styles, making functional approaches like FSet notable for modern development.
