Parrot Common Lisp

CHUCK NORRIS

Cory Spencer's Parrot Common Lisp is an implementation of Lisp on the Parrot virtual machine.

From his announcement:

I'd like to announce the creation of the Parrot Common Lisp project, which aims to implement a significant subset of the Common Lisp language. At present it's nowhere near achieving that goal, but it's progressing slowly as I figure out the intricacies of writing a Lisp implementation

PCL has reader macros, dynamic and lexical scoping and packages. It is an interpreter instead of a compiler, but apparently Cory plans on writing a compiler, too.

This is great news. Timely news, for me at least. I was thinking along the same lines as an exercise in learning the innards of common lisp.

Cool, sounds neato.

Yikes, what's with the picture?

Wow, just how many Lisp-related projects go by PCL now? Portable Common LOOPS, Practical Common Lisp, Parrot Common Lisp...

Gotta love the TLA overloading!

One time Chuck Norris peed on me, I said "thanks" then he roundhouse kicked me in the face.

Chuck norris doesnt sleep, he waits. Chuck Norris tears cure cancer, too bad hes never cried before. Chuck Norris doesnt cut the grass, he stands on the lawn and dares it to grow.
