Clojurians Log v2

This is all in jest… or is it 😂

You forgot some CL features save-lisp-and-die Redefine and reload classes CL's exceptions and break loop

Well, I know nothing about Common Lisp 🙂 . So that’s that.

But I’ve heard it had some great features.

Just so SLWs won't have anything to hold over our heads 😉

I'd also like full program aware compilation

> full program aware compilation How does that look like? Also a CL thing?

Very interesting…

Now, if only that were incremental…

Whole program aware compilation will let you do optimizations which are easy in functional languages. The hard part is maintaining a mapping to the original code to maintain the dynamism of Clojure and be able to roll back the optimization when definitions change.

That’s cool, yeah

As a perf optimization. The save-list-and-die is more intriguing.

I think there’s this company, Temporal, that sorta does something like that, afaict.

(have not used their tooling myself)

But it would be super cool to be a first-class part of the language…

Common lisp images are another bit of awesome lisp tech that has been lost in the C. IIRC smalltalk has a similar concept as well, it makes sense if compilation and runtime are one and the same.

Unison also has a bit of an image development going on
