  • trivial-cltl2

    Portable CLtL2

  • Macro expansion is done in the host environment, not the target environment. You can compile the macro definition to a function taking a form and an environment. This would be something you arrange for within your compiler.

    CLTL2 specifies a function `parse-macro ` which is available in most implementations. Portably you can call it using the `trivial-cltl2` package:

    Robert Strandh has written both papers and code for handling environments:

  • clisp

  • > phoe got package local nicknames into all implementations

    Unfortunately it's not yet in Clisp. I submitted a merge request[1] a year ago, but it's been silent since then.

  • serapeum

    Utilities beyond Alexandria

  • I consider Serapeum to be a revamp of the Common Lisp standard: https://github.com/ruricolist/serapeum/blob/master/REFERENCE.... This provides a bunch of new features and idioms including ideas borrowed from newer languages like Clojure.

    Great example of "growing a language" as a long-term evolutionary process that doesn't require changing earlier specifications in incompatible ways.
