10:10:53jackdanielmy little brother, this is python -very popular language. Parens? yes, that's embodiment of Python as a snake. No, it is natural that binary is named sbcl – python is its internal compiler :-)
12:08:48dmileswell yeah i could just work on the ansi tests .. that works out
12:09:00ShinmeraIt's not like CLtL1 would be much less work to implement than ansi either.
12:09:05jackdanielhere is canonical repository: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/ansi-test/ansi-test
12:09:23ShinmeraIf anything you'd start working on CLtL1 only to realise a lot of it is not ANSI, and have to rewrite a bunch.
12:09:58ShinmeraThe drafts weren't incremental things where they just kept on adding stuff after each.
12:10:40jackdanielquestion is: why start a new implementation? wouldn't be easier to contribute to something else? or if you feel you must be at lead – fork other imlementation and name it something different, like mkcl
