If it helps to add clarity to what this is about, Xen still requires a host (dom0) operating system, usually Linux but also NetBSD and OpenSolaris. Mirage OS (the basis for building your own unikernel) allows building applications as domU k

I haven't seen any published mocl performance data. One significant difference between the two is that SBCL's compiler is online (available at all times) whereas mocl's is only available on the development machine. So mocl is

FYI, SBCL is a high-performance open source compiling implementation of Common Lisp. All SBCL code is either released into the public domain or available with the FreeBSD license. Rumor has it that the next release of SBCL will support call

Obviously there is no power supply. The Jedi channels the energy of the Force. I never noticed the Jedi avoiding looking at the naked beam of a lightsaber in the movies. I'd think it would be quite damaging to the eyes.

I think what you actually want is static linking, with an OS that supports kernel ABIs going back many years (like FreeBSD) and good process/user-level restrictions. Running an entire operating system for every application is a bit hea

One of the great strengths of Lisp is in how much support it gives the developer in dealing with BBoM architecture. It helps make the ball smaller (maybe not fewer lines or characters--Lisp identifiers are often long--but fewer symbols) and

FreeBSD has a very stable core distribution with an up-tp-date rolling release "ports" system for additional software. It's great for these purposes. It also has excellent documentation, stable native ZFS, and compatibility w

Using vi instead of vim for a while is also beneficial. It keeps one from learning bad behavior like typing 'i' and then hitting the arrow and necessitates learning about marks before being spoiled by the visual modes

I agree wholeheartedly. Take what you love about tmux and extend it to include all applications. In addition to terminals (rxvt-unicode-256color) I run Firefox with Pentadactyl. With wmii (my tiling window manager of choice) I have keyboard

That is my estimation. If you don't need performance or macros, Python and Ruby may give you a similar development experience. However, neither of those languages AFAIK allows you to redefine (let alone recompile to native code) functi

Common Lisp was designed for large, complex applications where it is not "easy enough" to throw code away but existing codebases must be evolved in-place. It is a practical language, not an academic language. In academia, your cod
