You could write bindings for libraries he's wrote and write higher level logic in CL. It also appears (from google searches) there are ways to tweak garbage collectors in some versions of Lisp as well as ways to manually manage some memory? I don't know if they can be applied to writing audio or graphics libraries though. I've ran your script. Was surprised lower milliseconds I wasn't able to notice the stutter. I'd have thought even 1 ms would be noticeable. >> Common Lisp runtime + compiler Would like to hear more about this. Have you written about it in a blog post somewhere? One more point: Common lisp isn't the only option. There are other powerful functional languages out there. e.g. Ocaml which uses an incremental GC.
