R. Matthew Emerson has just released Clozure CL 1.14 (incl. arm64 ports for Apple silicon Macs and Linux + IDE for macOS). Link in comments.

the devo branch of Gendl already carries native surfaces (including trimmed) via a native batten-based NURBS kernel which is now on board by default. Load via basalt for best experience: genworks.com/basalt github.com/genworks/basalt .

Using humans as manual macro-expanders is an expensive and unreliable use of their neurons. Using LLMs as tokenual macro-expanders is an expensive and unreliable use of their neurons. Solution: use a language with macros.

Two new Impls. common lisp dot net (clnet) is now hosting container images for two new impls: dotcl and evergreen. Link in comments.

Now 51 impls, including the historical section. Wikipedia is now somewhat stale compared to clnet (link in comments). Wikipedia probably should just punt and link to us.

How many Common Lisp implementations does humanity need? Traditional Lisp answer: "One more."

common-lisp.net/implementati… is now listing 51 impls. We are ready to take on the Solar System at least.

So Earth currently sits at 19 impls, if we include experimental and in-development. Looks like we'll need some new planets soon if impls keep multiplying like this...

If the cost of creating a new Lisp implementation approaches zero, the number of Lisp implementations approaches infinity. The only remaining bottleneck is how quickly programmers can invent new reasons to fork one.

Future archaeologists will discover that humanity became a multi-planetary civilization not because we solved propulsion, but because Common Lisp developers needed enough planets to host all the implementation forks. 🚀 λ
