> I wonder how you manage to keep track of everything with this huge all-in-one main.c To me it's not different from having multiple files, on the contrary it's even easier to do s…

It reached version 1.6, now it covers more than 80% of the standard. alisp ships with ASDF and is capable of loading many real-world systems, let me know if your favorite system su…

This is a nightmare XD

I fully agree, in fact I'm writing a game in C too, it's https://github.com/andreamonaco/zombieland . Plus I have at least another idea for a game project in mind with the same lan…

For my YouTube videos, I often need to record my laptop screen. I used both ffmpeg and OBS and while they are quite rich with features, they also introduce a big overhead. I starte…

I'll look at that. About performance: people in practice have always favored GC, so I think there's a lot to be discovered in optimization of reference counting algorithms, includi…

Hello, I'm writing an implementation of the Common Lisp language that uses an enhanced reference counting algorithm (that I've taken from literature) that detects and handles cycle…

Regular software: a lisp implementation ( https://savannah.nongnu.org/p/alisp ) and a little online game ( https://github.com/andreamonaco/zombieland )

Many people still use C, I do for sure

I started writing a little online 2d shooter game. It already does a few things! Any number of players can move in the same map and shoot at each other until they die; they can sho…

Kudos to you! I'm writing a game (a little MMO) the same way, the technical and creative freedom is priceless.

I'd say the latter, since I felt the need for debugging tools similar to other languages like C. Watchpoints for example are entirely non-existent in current implementations, as fa…

In my opinion, automake is the weakest part of the autotools chain. Look at this section of the manual for example https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#G... :…

Yeah, advanced debugging features like watchpoints are very important to me

Also, my Patreon page ( https://www.patreon.com/andreamonaco ) has behind-the-scenes posts, some even in the free tier

Yeah, the goal is first bytecode compilation and then full

I don't like sites with heavy Javascript, especially if it's non-free. (Though recently I started using Github for a different project.) Savannah is very basic, perhaps too much, b…

I'm not sure I understand. What I do in my project is very common practice: generated files (like the configure script) are not part of the repository, but they are put in released…

Ideally I'd reach ANSI compliance, first with a bytecode compiler and then with a full one

Thanks! Maybe I could do that, if I see that people are interested

I tried stepping in various free implementations, but I couldn't really follow the source forms and execute them one by one. Also, I couldn't find much information online. Maybe yo…
