I've done quite a bit of Scheme in the past, but I've been playing with Common Lisp a little recently, and I often find myself thinking things like "how do I convert a string to a list of characters" or "how do I check if this thing is in this list", like simple standard library stuff that I could implement myself but expect to already be there, and then I go look in the Hyperspec, and sometimes it's hard to find thing when you don't have a name to look up.


True, but there is The Common Lisp Cookbook project to help with exactly such: http://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/strings.html


Pleeeeeeeeeeeease link to the recent Cookbook :) https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/


That looks great, thanks!


The Sourceforge version is old, please see https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ !
