Keep in mind that GOAL was designed for deployment on a game console. Also, a lot of the bottle-neck issues that games face are not the same as in high performance, number crunching finance software. Games are graphics, I/O and event processing heavy. In addition, games are compile once and give it to thousands of people type software. While analysis software is often writen once, but tweaked and updated by the end user very frequently. Common Lisp would be just perfect for this type of two stage explore/optimize usage; the development environment is posh, and the performance can get as raw as you want it to be.
- BrentRitterbeck 17y agoMy intentions for playing with the language is to rewrite enough of QuantLib, a large library I feel comfortable with, for myself using Lisp so that I can eventually run an equivalent of the Equity Options Example found in the source download. It's just learning at this point, taking something I know and rewriting it in a different language in order to get to know the language better. It will take some time.
