It's funny that you think supporting 3 platforms is "portable". Check this out: http://sbcl.org/platform-table.html http://www.rebol.com/release-archive.html

ABCL has been around for many ears as Lisp on the JVM.

Ok, what I wanted to show is Red's parse is more than just pattern matching, since you can execute regular Red code in parsing rules, walk around the input and other things. You can check it's features here: http://www.

Red is modern incarnation of Rebol, which is it's own unique language. It was influenced by Forth, true, but this is only influencing, Rebol has much more of it's own ideas than taken from others.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ClojureScript is implemented from scratch and independently of "big" Clojure. If it is so - to run Clojure on other systems you have to implement everything, which makes no sense at all.

I see, well, it's good that Red is open-source.

by mapcars 10y ago
So, I did this: https://gist.github.com/maximvl/8d4cd6c9139f6f8f3729f4ba59fa... and nothing happened. How do I run this?

>then Red/Rebol has nothing on J/K And of course, you will show us same capabilities, gui, reactiveness in J/K, won't you?

I didn't get it, what could gcc/clang potentially bring to Plan9?

by mapcars 10y ago
Ability to install several versions of any package and guarantee that nothing can break installed packages are two main points of Nix.

Does it allow you to install several versions of a package and use everything down to compiler version and compilation flags as dependencies?

btw, these WEY keyboards are still using typewriter's layout, which is really bad. Few choices are also here: truly ergonomic keyboard, typematrix and again, kinesis.

Great ergonomics keyboards still exist, they are costly though: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/shop/advantage-pro-for-pc-mac/

Modern keyboard with 100-years old keys alignment. WOW.

I don't quite understand, is this a tool to generate C code, or you can use compiled result directly from CL?

I just feel it.

https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/clfswm/clfswm is based on StumpWM and has its own unique features too.
