Lisp Koans
Common Lisp Koans is a language learning exercise
Lisp Koans is a self-guided learning path for Common Lisp that teaches the language’s idioms through a series of failing tests you progressively make pass. Each koan introduces a concept—symbols, lists, macros, multiple dispatch, reader syntax—then asks you to fill in the blanks and run the suite again. The feedback loop is intentionally tight: fail, reflect, fix, and rerun until the tests become a form of living documentation. Because koans are organized from fundamentals to metaprogramming, learners internalize not just syntax but also Lisp’s philosophy of code-as-data. The exercise format makes it ideal for workshops, katas, or leveling up engineers who have never touched a Lisp before. It’s minimal on infrastructure and maximal on discovery, encouraging use of a REPL and inspector while you solve each puzzle. -

COOK
Software build-automation tool written in Common Lisp
COOK is a software build-automation tool made with a goal of letting you, the programmer, to utilize the most elegant and powerful programming language - Common Lisp - for managing your software builds. You write a recipe file which describes what objectives must be constructed. COOK will load and process this file, then produce either a regular Makefile or a Bourne Shell script, which will actually perform the task of building and installing your targets. -

ARITA
Extraordinary audio player for FreeBSD & GNU/Linux
Unlike conventional audio players, ARITA aims to help music lovers to keep their precious collections well organized and tidy. Therefore it takes a different approach to arranging audio files. They must be emplaced into libraries: 'archives' or 'cuesheets'. Archive - compressionless container like CPIO. Instead of tags for description of tracks, a plain XML/YAML file is placed alongside each archive. Rather than embedding cover art in every track, put a single image next to a library. TIFF supports multipage docs, so scans of covers/discs can be packed together in one file. ARITA will locate and display the said file, allowing you to view all pages. Optional 'signature' files can be created to keep checksums of tracks, so you may ask ARITA to verify them and make sure nothing is damaged due to a sudden failure of HDD/SSD. As for 'cuesheets': tracks are merged into a single continuous audio file and a supplementary text file, which provides information on where tracks start and end. -
