Is there any 'cleaner' CL standard, or at least a 'best practices' guide to code in a cleaner way, avoiding the worse pits that had to be kept in the standard due to backward compatibility?
I can give you a simple C++ example of what I mean. In C, you had those *parameters that had to be matched by &args when the function was called. C++ brought some self-referencing ¶meters that were passed normally and worked the same way than the former but were (saidly) less error-prone.
Is there any similar effort being made in Lisp?
