Somehow.
It should be possible to load a C, Prolog and Python implementations into one sbcl image.
The Symbolics Lisp Machine emulator I use comes with C, Pascal, Fortran, several Common Lisp variants, Lisp Machine Lisp in one image.
Kalman Reti once gave a demo how to debug mixed Lisp and C code in a REPL on such a Lisp Machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4-YnLpLgtk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4-YnLpLgtk
- noloblo 4y agowhy is there a need to integrate many different languages in one image? [ in racket/sbcl]
- lispm 4y agoIn Racket the 'language orientation' is a part of the philosophy and the language & implementation & infrastructure is especially and prominently developed to support that. This can for example be used in education. In SBCL it's just the case, that generally the Lisp language familiy is used for developing embedded languages: domain specific and general.
