  • maru

    Maru - a tiny self-hosting lisp dialect (by attila-lendvai)

  • That's the idea behind the Maru Project. It's a really cool concept and more people should know about it.

  • clasp

    clasp Common Lisp environment (by clasp-developers)

  • Take a simple Common Lisp expression and turn it into a simple machine language representation sounds simple - but it isn't. With modern processors it has become a very complex process. We are developing "Clasp" a Common Lisp implementation that uses llvm as its backend. (https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp.git)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
