I like what you're doing, but I really wish you'd provide debs and rpms for x86 and arm; I use common lisp on machines with very little ram, and compiling is too much of a hassle. FWIW, ecl and sbcl are my go-tos.
- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoI second this: making it easy for users to use your language implementation is very valuable. I routinely test my Lisp on every implementation I can reliably get my hands on, and I’ve never been able to build a good binary for clasp.
- stevelosh 6y agoThirded. I would also add Clasp to my projects' list of implementations to run unit tests on[1] if I could easily install it on Ubuntu with a .deb. [1]: e.g. adding a test-clasp clause to https://github.com/sjl/cl-digraph/blob/master/Makefile#L14-L32 https://github.com/sjl/cl-digraph/blob/master/Makefile#L14-L...
- drmeister 6y agoThank you. So debs for debian? I have great collaborators working with me now that could do this. We have one for Arch I believe. I just haven't prioritized this yet.
- dleslie 6y agoDebian and its derivatives, yes; I do most of my lisp from raspbian these days, but it's Debian compatible.
- Insanity 6y agoCool, I'm curious, what do you do with lisp if you can share it?
- dleslie 6y agoTools for work, small web services that I share with friends, basically all my personal programming.
- phoe-krk 6y agoIs that a general question, or a precise one? In case it's the former, I have a ton of personal projects and small libraries in it, plus wrote a book on it that will get published by Apress[0].

- Insanity 6y agoIt was a precise one, but thanks! :D
- zshrdlu 6y agoIf you take the packaging route, cross-distribution packages like guix and nix would probably be best.
