I'm trying to incorporate parallel computing into Easy-ISLisp using pthreads. Currently, the associative lists of local variables, stacks, and pointers are independent for each thread. However, I'm facing a conflict, and it's not functioning as expected. If anyone has any reference materials regarding parallel Lisp, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share them with me. sasagawa888/eisl: ISLisp interpreter/compiler (github.com)

I prefer dynamically typed Lisp because it's easy to write. However, when it comes to large-scale code, bugs tend to occur that are not apparent until execution. Mistakes often go unnoticed. So, I believe that type inference combines the convenience of dynamically typed languages with the reliability of statically typed languages. Easy-ISLisp includes a type inferencer. Give it a try. sasagawa888/eisl: ISLisp interpreter/compiler (github.com)

I have released Easy-ISLisp ver3.03. I have changed the default garbage collector to Concurrent Mark & Sweep (CMS). Please refer to the documentation "GBC.md" for information about the garbage collector. Give it a try! sasagawa888/eisl: ISLisp interpreter/compiler (github.com)

Parallel GC was experimentally introduced in version 3.01. Mark and sweep operations are parallelized using pthreads. While a simple code can be fast, its performance may vary depending on the data size. It's peculiar yet quite intriguing.https://github.com/sasagawa888/eisl

Seems like a perfect use-case for Janet. (https://janet-lang.org/) A fast minimal VM like Lua, but even more extensible than Lua by being a "Lisp" with macro and C extension capabilities. Not a true Lisp, it's very pragmatic and performance-oriented. But it keeps the good stuff.

It comes with a build tool `jpm` which installs dependencies globally by default, but you can have it be installed in your project folder as well.

I like Clojure, but I never had any good opportunities to use it other than for a few small hobby projects. It is unfortunate that it is so huge with tons of dependencies and no simpler native implementation. I started looking at various LISPs and Schemes to find something lighter to use instead and ended up settling for Janet that I think is Clojure-like enough to be comfortable to use, but in a small native binary with no dependencies and can be embedded in other native programs. I am sure for big, real, projects that Clojure makes more sense, but for my hobby projects and scripts I do not think I will install it again. I am still happy for the things I learned from learning Clojure. It was a real eye-opener for an old OO-programmer.

One might also check out Janet for quick scripting tasks.

Thanks!

I thought about another multiplatform, homoiconic, highly compact language: https://janet-lang.org/ (takes 803 kb on my machine).

It has no types though.

Racket is great, and if you like it you might find Rash interesting:

Janet and Gerbil Scheme are also worth a look:

Point here is that, for instance Janet language does not have cons / pair type but tuple (and so is lispoid, not lisp), but clearly this is sufficient for macros & hence seamless language construction: all you need is to be a lispoid although being a lisp gives another useful feature.
