20:29:08moon-childprobably pjb (?) knows better, but I don't expect that was ever a thing
20:30:46pjbwhereiseveryone: there were what was called FEXP which was special functions that got their arguments un-evaluated. So they could behave like macros, but at run-time.
20:31:42pjbwhereiseveryone: search for FEXPR (or FSUBR for the assembly version) in https://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book/LISP%201.5%20Programmers%20Manual.pdf
20:42:09whereiseveryoneIs the goal of sicl to eventually replace sbcl?
20:42:32whereiseveryoneAtleast, sicl will be more maintainable than sbcl since it's written completely in lisp?
20:45:05moon-childI expect that some current usage of sbcl will be replaced by usage of sicl. I don't expect sbcl to disappear (and I certainly hope it doesn't); sbcl is great
20:49:56jcowanAt present, of course, SBCL has the great advantage of actually working.
3:04:32beachwhereiseveryone: It is not my ambition to have SICL replace any other implementation. But I hope people like it, though, once it is finished.
