- register 8y agoMy point was not about peformances but rather about embedding. CL performances are good and toghether with interactive development these are the main selling points. It's a compiled programming language that feels like a scripting language "done right". However try to develop something like an embeddable library in SBCL and then use it in native Android, Ios , Mac and Windows applications. This is something that can be done in Javascript, Go, Dart, C,C++, Lua and so on. As far as I know the only CL that can achieve something similar is ECL. In my opinion this limits considerably CL adoption because it forces to adopt the entire ecosystem as a whole.
