No love for NPT (<https://github.com/nptcl/npt https://github.com/nptcl/npt>)? Well, I get it, it is very, very new.
One note about ABCL is that it doesn't support TCO, which the Common Lisp spec doesn't mandate. For people who want a Lisp on the JVM and really want tail calls, I would recommend checking out Kawa (<https://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/index.html https://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/index.html>).
- abecedarius 4y agoSo, say what's promising about NPT? The readme doesn't try to; neither does the first page of the docs.
- tmtvl 4y agoThe documentation (B1_Using) does explain that: > npt was developed with the intention of embedding it in the C language. Kind of like Guile, but Common Lisp rather than Scheme.
