Yes, I've done so several times. Have you successfully bootstrapped today's or yesterday's versions?

So, maybe Robert/beach is half-way through a major change. In the meantime I'll just use SBCL and/or my venerable 2021.07 snapshot of CMUCL. I really like Hemlock.

Well, if you are looking for a new CL implementation, SICL bootstrapping doesn't even generate an executable, so it won't be of much use to you.

Yesterday, I successfully built CLASP, as well. It's interesting in embedding C++ more easily.

From what I've been told, designing a new bootstrapping procedure, compiler, runtime among a few other published things is hard.

Well, I was enjoying exploring how SICL is evolving. I was trying some code within (repl *e5*) . I really became stimulated after watching Strandh's ELS presentation. I've made all the docs to PDF, and saved them separately.

What I find stimulating, in particular, is his attempt to continue where Steele and others left off vis-a-vis CLTLv2

Have you ever taken a peek at Standford Reasearch Inc.'s / S.R.I's Maude System. It's a throw everything together and the kitchen sink kind of lang.

It's takes a while to build with many needed libs in Devuan/Debian type distros, but once it's built it's quite a unique adventure. I hope it doesn't distract me too much ;-)

Another freewheeling abberant is Alexander Burger's picolisp https://software-lab.de/doc/tut.html They've a group here on libera.chat.

looks like I was still using the fork I had from when I made that random number generator module
