Sad to see Clozure CL abandoned, that was my main squeeze back in my lisp days (I was on Windows and SBCL wasn't cut out for it at the time). How's SBCL on Windows these days?
- kazinator 4y agoCCL is not "abandoned". I recently brushed the dust off an application that I last released in 2014. It uses CCL on Windows. I was pleased to see there is a recent new version from 2021. I upgraded to that and did some new work, making new releases.
- orthecreedence 4y agoWell, that's good, but the article made it sound like it was no more. Maybe it's just that it's feature-complete.
- lispm 4y agoThere are bugs which have not been fixed, maybe they are - who knows. For example on ARM processor it dies in multiprocessing. Next: CCL comes originally from the Mac platform (the original Coral Lisp started on the early Mac, Apple even owned Macintosh Common Lisp for a few years, that code was used to create OpenMCL, aka Clozure CL) and there is still no Apple Silicon port and there is no real progress to get there.
