Er, which part of their stack is "obscure"? Common Lisp, FFI, Cairo, OpenGL, X11; it would be hard to pick more well-trodden ground IMHO. (Well, okay, there are even more popular options than clisp, but it's still not obscure, just slightly less widely used than ex. C or Java.)
- adastra22 2y ago"slightly less widely used" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. For all of it except FFI.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoI said clisp was slightly less widely used, not any of the other parts. Again, what exactly in their stack do you think is obscure?
- adastra22 2y agoThese days, for new software, even OpenGL is obscure. And it stands out as odd--Vulkan is essentially the Khronos-approved successor to OpenGL, which is/was an API so thoroughly removed from the modern GPU model that any program using it would be CPU or system memory bound on modern hardware.
