Ask HN: Lisp projects for an otherwise seasoned dev?
If anyone wants to get an idea of where I am coming from though: I've spent most of my paid time using Python, Java, Rust, C#, and a bunch of scripting in Ruby and Bash. While my experience is skewed towards backend development I'd consider myself predominantly a generalist and have written my fair share of React/Solid.js/Angular by now. The domains/fields have been finance, enterprise applications, machine learning & AI, and generic web-application stuff.
Nowadays, it's mostly Rust, Postgres, Solid.js, and GraphQL that get the job done.
The idea I've had has been to do some dumb things with the Spotify API that I'd have some utility for but it's so simple it feels like an errand.
Another idea, but that was more for message-passing in Erlang (or Elixir) was about having a more or less emergent Pokémon clone wherein the Pokémon will fight each other in the wild and evolve and perhaps have maturity cycles during which they reproduce etcetera.
The third is to chomp through Lisp In Small Pieces.
All "fine" ideas, but as of yet I haven't felt any pull to me.
People more well-versed in Lisps, is there anything that'd be a joy to do that we other plebeians might consider a headache with our current toolbox?
