SBCL later was forked from CMUCL to have a simpler implementation and build system. Recently the port to M1 Macs went smooth. The person(s) doing the port did an excellent job.
- rjsw 4y agoPorting CMUCL to x86 required someone having access to a machine that it already ran on as well as a 386 running UNIX, plus knowing that the CMUCL sources were available and having internet access to get hold of them. I think these were the limiting factors rather than lack of demand.
