Strange, I use Lisp and type to a REPL all the time. Now you tell me that is a feature of other languages, not of Lisp?

On my Symbolics VLM installation (on a MacBook Pro) I can run things in one Listener, let it running its code and switch to the next listener. I can also use the GUI to create a new Listener. I can switch back to the busy Listener and force

> Both loops will complete eventually. Thanks for your effort! But I need none of this. I want to open a REPL and type (dotimes (i 1000000) (print i)) - or anything morally equivalent ;-) - and I want it to do its job and the user inter

Yeah, that's really good advice.

Yes, that runs Common Lisp code in an external Common Lisp instance via a SLIME / SLY connection, using the CL thread features. It can use Bordeaux-Threads as API for threads in various CL implementations. https://github.com

I would want to hack Emacs Lisp, not Common Lisp.

These "tricks" still don't make two GNU Emacs Lisp REPLs in the same GNU Emacs execute arbitrary Lisp code concurrently.

I want multiple Lisp REPLs which run Lisp code concurrently in the same Lisp process. How would I do it in GNU Emacs?

Emacs Lisp gets there anyway, somehow. Just decades later. Examples: Lexical binding. SCHEME in 1975, Common Lisp in 1984. GNU Emacs in 2012. Native compiled code. LISP 1 got that in 1960. There are now native compiled code builds of GNU Em

see the word "limited" in the documentation. It's some kind of "cooperative thread" mechanism...

I also find a lot of the user code well written. Helps to have various IDE support from the Editor and built-in documentation.

I would think that people might wish Emacs Lisp would be a more capable application programming language. For example for an editor with such extensive capabilities, it would be useful that the language would provide preemptive scheduled th

That cookbook article is a bad example, especially for normal users, since instead of explaining idiomatic cases of iteration, it explains several iteration constructs (where some are extremely complex) in one article: loop, iterate, for, m

Yeah, but that's wrong. It's the usual confusion about Just in Time dynamic compilation by the system and incremental compilation by the user. LISP I had an incremental compiler. The user calls the compiler with a list of function

COMPILE is AOT, not JIT. Typical Lisp compilers will not dynamically optimize code based on runtime performance metering.
