A Brief Interview with Common Lisp Creator Dr. Scott Fahlman

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ingress-nginx

    Ingress-NGINX Controller for Kubernetes

  • uncommon-dylan

    Less common than common-dylan but common nevertheless!

    Yes. Making a macro for defining enums isn't that hard (there's one here: https://github.com/cgay/uncommon-dylan/blob/master/enum.dyla...).

    I, for one, welcome my whitespace-surrounded operator overlords, but if you really don't want that you're welcome to use function-call syntax for them.

  • 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.

  • mrustc

    Alternative rust compiler (re-implementation)

    Ideally, what Guix would want is similar to what https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc/ does for Rust (a compiler, not written in Rust, for Rust).

    So for Dylan, we'd like to have a compiler for Open Dylan, not written in Dylan. (it can also require multiple steps to get up to Open Dylan--that would be fine)

    It's not in the interest of our users to use binary blob compilers for bootstrapping.

    We would also unbundle LLVM, clang and the bdw gc and use the ones from Guix.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
