- Klwohu 6y agoclisp has fewer features and is more stable, making it useful for certain applications
- a0-prw 6y agoWould you mind expanding on that? What are the "fewer features" that make it more useful than SBCL? I find SBCL to be highly stable. I haven't used Clisp for many years and I don't think there's been a new release for many years.
- Mediterraneo10 6y agoClisp hasn't had a formal release in a long while, but activity on the repo is ongoing.
- a0-prw 6y agoFor a while GCL was the lisp that Maxima was built with. I think it's been SBCL for a while now.
