  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 / 7 months ago

• A few newbie questions about lisp

  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: 11 months ago

• [C++20][safety] static_assert is all you need (no leaks, no UB)

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

• Trying to wrap my head around `xbps-src`

  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.

• Ask HN: Areas in Programming to Avoid

  > 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
