Top 13 Common Lisp Compiler Projects

  • clasp

    clasp Common Lisp environment (by clasp-developers)

    • Project mention: A Road to Common Lisp | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-22

    It's a great article. Since 2018 though, we have more tools and resources so we can enhance it. (I copy/edit a comment of mine from last thread)

    ## Pick and Editor

    The article is right that you can start with anything. Just `load` your .lisp file in the REPL. But even in Vim, Sublime Text, Atom/Pulsar, VSCode, the Jetbrains suite or Jupyter notebooks, you can get pretty good to very good support. See https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht...

    > if anyone is interested in making a Common Lisp LSP language server, I think it would be a hugely useful contribution to the community.

    Here's a new project used for VSCode: https://github.com/nobody-famous/alive-lsp There's also https://github.com/cxxxr/cl-lsp

    ## Libraries

    He doesn't mention this list, what a shame: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl => the CL ecosystem is probably bigger than you thought. Sincerely, only recently, great packages appeared: CLOG, sento (actors concurrency), 40ants-doc, official CL support on OVH through Platform.sh, great editor add-ons (Slite test runner, Slime-star modules…), Coalton 1.0 (Haskell-like ML on top of CL), April v1.0 (APL in CL), a Qt 5 "library" (still hard to install), many more… (Clingon CLI args parser, Lish, a Lisp Shell in the making, the Consfigurator deployment service, generic-cl)…

    His list is OK, I'd pick another HTTP client (Dexador instead of Drakma) and another JSON library (jzon or shasht), new ones since 2018 too, but that's a detail.

    BTW, see also a list of companies: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ (nothing official, we add when we find one)

    ## Other resources

    The Cookbook (to which I contribute) is a useful reference to see code and get things done, quickly. https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/

    While I'm at it, my last shameless plug: after my tutorials written for the Cookbook and my blog, I wanted to do more. Explain, structure, demo real-world Common Lisp. I'm creating this course (there are some free videos): https://www.udemy.com/course/common-lisp-programming/?coupon... You'll learn CL efficiently and support an active Lisper.

    ## Web Development

    See the Cookbook, and the awesome list. We have many libraries, you still have to code for things taken for granted in other big frameworks. I have some articles on my blog. I have a working Django-like DB admin dashboard, I have to finish the remaining 20%…

    We have new very cool kids in town, especially CLOG, that is like a GUI for the browser. Check it out: https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog

    ## Game Development

    See again the awesome-cl list. And the Kandria game, published on Steam, all done in CL: https://kandria.com/

    ## Unit Testing

    We have even more test frameworks since 2018! And some are actually good O_o

    ## Projects

    To create a full-featured CL project in one command, look no further, here's my (shameless plug) project skeleton: https://github.com/vindarel/cl-cookieproject you'll find the equivalent for a web project, lighter alternatives in the README, and a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFc513MJjos&feature=youtu.be

    ## Community

    We are also on Discord: https://discord.gg/hhk46CE and on Libera Chat.

    ## Implementations

    CLASP (CL for C++ on LLVM) reached its v1.0, congrats. https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp/releases/tag/1.0.0 More are in the making…

    We got dynamic library delivery tool for SBCL (sbcl-librarian). There's a rumor from the European Lisp Symposium that a feature beginning in "co" and lasting in "routine" is coming to SBCL.

    Allegro CL (proprietary) got a new version running in the browser…

    • Project mention: Common Lisp Is Not a Single Language, It Is Lots | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-25

    On the positive side, one can also study the works of brilliant minds... like the original work on the Common Lisp Object System and its metaobject protocol. It added support for object-oriented programming to Lisp and was originally developed with a prototype implementation, which could be loaded into a running Common Lisp.

    The toy implementation from the book: https://github.com/binghe/closette

    A real implementation, here for SBCL: https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/tree/master/src/pcl

    > CL is like clay,not even lego bricks.

    There is also the "Big ball of mud" metaphor, which is attributed to Joel Moses, comparing it to the diamond like structure of APL:

      "Lisp, on the other hand, is a ball of mud.  It looks ugly, but you

    • Project mention: Don't Invent XML Languages (2006) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-08

    There's plenty of history of s-expression formats for documentation. One example is: https://github.com/Clozure/ccl/tree/master/doc/manual

    But, also, there's plenty of uses of XML that are not "artcles and books". For example, Maven's pom.xml and log4j2.xml.
