I've recently built Linux dev environment for Amiga and documented the process in a form of a blog post.

This is quite tone deaf - demoscene stands for creativity and resource constraint, and using ai cancels both in favor of resource intensive cognitive offload

to be honest I feel much more comfortable with git -- muscle memory, magit etc., but fossil is much more appealing when you look at the underlying model and how it bundles wiki and…

CL enables many paradigms of programming, including functional one and imperative. Currently the most popular way of programming among CL programmers is OOP with CLOS.

There's also Guile Hoots compiling directly to WASM.

I didn't plan explicitly for SLIME, but loading swank shouldn't be much of a problem. The missing piece would be a bridge between a websocket and tcp I think.

Btw, eval (ed "wecl.lisp") to see some interesting function definitions, like canvas or webgl access drafts.

With enough code - yes. But not right now. You may precompile to native though.

Bytecodes compiler used in this build from repl is one-pass with very little optimizations, so it is not surprising. Natively compiled code is much faster.

What a bunch of fud.. If you want to make mcclim progress faster then chip in with actual expertise instead of unfunded snarks. ECL is a stable implementation with actual users, if…

ECL features native code and bytecodes vm for targets without incremental compilation support - both native and bytecode can be freely mixed at runtime. That means that you may int…

This is just a test page. Today I've shared an information about an accepted grant proposal: https://functional.cafe/@jackdaniel/114742776265318353 The work will go towards improvi…

Hey! Thanks for the offer and thanks for the correction. I've revisited relevant threads and it seems that it is indeed -O0 because things are slower with higher optimization level…

It's worse, it is -O0 -- this is because of the GC and binaryen/llvm interaction. For GC to work we need to spill stack call pointers (and binaryen has such a flag!), but for the o…

Scheme requires TCO. It is a different Lisp (it also has standard[s]).

Common Lisp does not require TCO. This runs on emscripten port of Embeddable Common Lisp - this platform support is relatively new. I'm also working on WASI port and an optimizing …

Web version of ecl when compiler is invoked at runtime, uses one-pass bytecodes compiler, so things tend to lack optimization unless compiled beforehand.
