Show HN: An implementation of Common Lisp in development, reached version 1.6
savannah.nongnu.orgIt 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 succeeds!
License is GPL3 or later, no LLMs used. That's cool. I wonder how you manage to keep track of everything with this huge all-in-one main.c. Do you plan to achieve 100%? Is there a list of what is actually missing and which relevant projects depend on the missing parts? What are the core benefits compared to e.g. ECL or CLISP? > 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 search and replace > Do you plan to achieve 100%? Yes! > Is there a list of what is actually missing and which relevant projects depend on the missing parts? Yes, a partial list is in "Known bugs and limitations" in NOTES. > What are the core benefits compared to e.g. ECL or CLISP? Well, the code base is smaller and (arguably) easier to read. Building is easier. There's a debugger with stepping, very easy to use Amazing work, thanks.
