pjb: Thanks. Is Franz the most common commercial implementation of common lisp? I am mainly using SBCL while learning.
21:48:50
pjb
Not necessarily. Lispworks also has a big marketshare, and there are a few other commercial implementations.

CLISP is an interpreted (by default) implementation, so the code it produces will be slower.

But then, it has no compilation overhead, because it's an interpreted (by default) implementation. So exactly what pjb said.

I started with CLISP but found it to be orders of magnitude slower for some example programs in a book I read than SBCL. Is the speed of the compiled code for CCL comparable to SBCL?

I have a (array (unsigned-byte 8) N). I want to turn it into a foreign array for C usage.

Xach: In case someone is looking for this same problem and the irc log comes up in their search, the solution is to pass :preserve-uri to drakma:http-request so that it doesn't re-encode params in the url.

how do you escape a list? I have something like (:asdf 1 :boo 2) and I want :asdf 1 :boo 2

It's a complex widget called 'nglview' running within Cando(Common Lisp) within a jupyter notebook.

A reason to use it is if you have C++ libraries you want to drive from Common Lisp. Nobody has taken me up on that lately.

I'm developing it as a computer aided molecular design environment. That requires a lot more than just Common Lisp - that's what I've been working on.
