As someone who's not into real-time or zero-overhead, this is still interesting: Is it feasible to restrict exceptions to throwing a single simple "error code" type without losing much of value?

If you re-read everything in this subthread, you'll find a lot of argument from seasoned lispers that I can and should ignore the fact that type declarations are unsafe even at the highest safety settings because of "what implem

Thanks. Seems my assessment and SBCL's self-description match perfectly, as they explicitly aim to "reward the use of type declarations throughout development" and exhort users to "always declare the types of function

Type declarations in Common Lisp are unsafe. Violating a declaration at runtime is UB. What SBCL is doing to Common Lisp is similar to what C compiler vendors did to C. In order to win at benchmarks, C compiler vendors started to use UB as
