Steel Bank Common Lisp VS PicoLisp

Tangential: if we're talking Lisp and native code speed, Steel Bank Common Lisp (by default) compiles everything to machine code. [0] https://sbcl.org. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Q5: Get http://sbcl.org/. Install https://quicklisp.org/. SBCL is the implementation that's the lowest friction, and Quicklisp is a package manager that's almost* painless. Source: 12 months ago

That is what we do in Lisp. Try sbcl if you haven't tried it yet. Source: about 1 year ago

I want to add the sbcl-doc subpackage (the manual for SBCL in GNU Info format), but first I need to understand how to write package definitions. As far as I understand there are the "templates" which are shell scripts that describe how a package is to be built and installed, and xbps-src is a shell script which can process these templates to actually carry out the work.

> Lisp looks like Python, that's far from C, and usually it's a "interpreted" language, far from machine the currently most popular Common Lisp implementation is based around an optimizing native code compiler. That compiler has its roots in the early 80s. See https://sbcl.org . It's far away from being 'interpreted'. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

A similar thing happened in 2011 when the picolisp project published a 'ticker', something like a markov chain generating pages on the fly. https://picolisp.com/wiki/?ticker It's a nice type of honeypot. - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

I love(d) PicoLisp. I have run Windows, Linux (many flavors on many machines), and MacOS, but my working OS is Windows, and I could not get the x64 PicoLisp running on Windows back then without using Cygwin or MinGW. I can run it on WSL[1], however, it still requires a POSIX environment. Is there a way to compile a Windows binary without the POSIX required for a working PicoLisp environment? I know it switched to... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Maybe also mention PicoLisp: https://picolisp.com/wiki/?home ... In part because of this interesting alternative to Android Studio for interacting with the Android SDK through a LISP REPL: https://picolisp.com/wiki/?PilBox Surprisingly the folks behind Clojure were never able to fill this gap despite the Android SDK being based on Java. One of my long-term goals is to create an analog of AutoHotkey for Android. ... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Those days I'm really rooting for PicoLisp (https://picolisp.com/wiki/?home). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
