Common Lisp implementations in 2023: - SBCL Everything else is de-facto dead or in a proprietary silo.

What about GCL? "NEW! (20230113) GCL 2.6.14 is released"

Never heard of anyone using it. AIUI not standards-compliant. LGPL for a Common Lisp impl. is not something I want to touch with a ten foot pole.

There's a weird spike in new accounts with what appear to be AI generated comments in this thread. One problem I run into when learning Common Lisp is ASDF. For some reason I can't figure out how to use it properly. For example, when I open a system definition in a new REPL, what's the expected workflow? I'm using emacs and slime by the way. Maybe my environment is set up wrong. I also have to prefix the `defsystem`s…

Thanks, I honestly felt a bit gaslighted with the way no one was mentioning anything about these accounts.

Are RefreshingView, FunnyGuy567, SultrySiren6, and GirlFunk87 all someone spamming the site with gpt bots? How annoying. edit: TropicalDelight, SimplySweet4, WonderWeirdo0, WickedlyCool and SoulmateTravels as well.

Seems like there is virtually copy/paste from old comments, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34910103 I remember reading the original https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32324797

I tried to use it when writing my article. It could not even load my initialization file because it is not standard compliant (it does not support the :VERBOSE argument of COMPILE-FILE).

The fact that they use GCC under the hood is interesting though, I'd be curious to see how fast it can get. But standard compliance comes first.
