Is there a lint for Common Lisp or Chicken Scheme?

Question

Is there a lint for Common Lisp or Chicken Scheme? Possibly something akin to C's splint, Haskell's HLint, Perl's B::Lint, etc.?

Answer 1

There's Lisp Critic:

Answer 2

There is a static debugger for PLT Scheme, called "MrSpidey", and "bugloo" if you are using the "Bigloo" Scheme compiler, but that is all I could find. see this Stack Overflow question about static analyzers for scheme.

Answer 3

Specifically for CHICKEN Scheme, in the 4 series a "scrutinizer" has been added, which will perform (limited) flow analysis of your data types. Especially if you put your code inside a module (making the code a "closed world" so to speak), it can be extremely helpful in detecting type mistakes.

In 4.9.0 and later the scrutinizer is enabled by default. In older versions, you can enable it through the -scrutinize command line option.

Answer 4

No, there is nothing like that for Common Lisp.

Answer 5

sblint ? A linter for Common Lisp, based on SBCL.
