This is quite tone deaf - demoscene stands for creativity and resource constraint, and using ai cancels both in favor of resource intensive cognitive offload

to be honest I feel much more comfortable with git -- muscle memory, magit etc., but fossil is much more appealing when you look at the underlying model and how it bundles wiki and issues along with the repository; that's why I'm starting as of late all my solo projects with fossil repo.

CL enables many paradigms of programming, including functional one and imperative. Currently the most popular way of programming among CL programmers is OOP with CLOS.

There's also Guile Hoots compiling directly to WASM.

I didn't plan explicitly for SLIME, but loading swank shouldn't be much of a problem. The missing piece would be a bridge between a websocket and tcp I think.

Btw, eval (ed "wecl.lisp") to see some interesting function definitions, like canvas or webgl access drafts.

With enough code - yes. But not right now. You may precompile to native though.
jackdaniel

Bytecodes compiler used in this build from repl is one-pass with very little optimizations, so it is not surprising. Natively compiled code is much faster.

What a bunch of fud..

If you want to make mcclim progress faster then chip in with actual expertise instead of unfunded snarks.

ECL is a stable implementation with actual users, if you can point out existing problems then please report them.

ECL features native code and bytecodes vm for targets without incremental compilation support - both native and bytecode can be freely mixed at runtime.

That means that you may interactively use repl to call functions that were compiled ahead of time and to add new functions even on uncooperative targets.

After you've finished prototyping you may compile the finished library to native ahead of time.

This is just a test page. Today I've shared an information about an accepted grant proposal:

https://functional.cafe/@jackdaniel/114742776265318353

The work will go towards improving browser integration and porting to WASI.

Hey! Thanks for the offer and thanks for the correction. I've revisited relevant threads and it seems that it is indeed -O0 because things are slower with higher optimization levels (I must have misremembered).

Relevant links: https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/-/merge_reques... https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/issues/650

Most notably an entry in the INSTALL file:

``` the optimization level -O0 is used because higher optimization levels seem to interfere with the binaryen options needed to get the garbage collector to work correctly and tend slow down the program (might be worth experimenting with the optimization options) ```
jackdaniel

It's worse, it is -O0 -- this is because of the GC and binaryen/llvm interaction. For GC to work we need to spill stack call pointers (and binaryen has such a flag!), but for the optimization level 1 and above said pointers are sometimes optimized away :3

I'm experimenting with WASI and the GC extension for WASM, but that's months from today if we speak about complete port (given my time capacity at the moment).

Scheme requires TCO. It is a different Lisp (it also has standard[s]).
jackdaniel
·tahun lalu·discuss
Common Lisp does not require TCO. This runs on emscripten port of Embeddable Common Lisp - this platform support is relatively new. I'm also working on WASI port and an optimizing compiler at runtime (currently we use bytecodes compiler when running).
jackdaniel
·tahun lalu·discuss
Web version of ecl when compiler is invoked at runtime, uses one-pass bytecodes compiler, so things tend to lack optimization unless compiled beforehand.

Some of us are hanging out to interact with peers and to share cool hacks. Nothing to do with winning or losing; not all social interactions can be reduced to a psychological warfare.

Underpaid FOSS devs offering financial bounties so they can attempt to sue offenders sounds to me quite surreal.

Free education does not mean "no degrees", it means "funded from taxes/ by goverment".

You don't have "an industry" that hikes prices, and there is a central authority without ulterior motive that has an influence over what is funded. Not to mention that you don't put young people into debt from get go.
