Crystal lang is their secret sauce!

Gerbil now sports a standalone httpd, with servlet support.

Common Lisp looses to LLMs again...

Hmm no reference to the OpenBSD port. https://www.openbsd.org/loongson.html

Compared to their peers of the time?

The Hittites did not last that long...

North west passage...

This a reference to Africa west of Egypt. It was all "Libu" in Herodotus. Asia, from the Greek name for the city of Assuwa. This was to reference all of Anatolia/Asia Minor.

Velikovsky would be proud.

They've had some trouble with the arena allocator in the latest sbcl.

KnowledgeWorks update most likely.

Bumble birds are amazing.

By that standard JS should also be scuttled.

You've never had to fsck a 10TB spinning disk then...

It's also fast! https://vyzo.github.io/lisp-benchmarks-game/

Graphene OS.

https://github.com/drujensen/fib sbcl on my mac m1 gets 21s Gerbil gets 16s

Minor Gerbil version as an example. (export main)

(def (fib n) (if (fx<= n 1) n (+ (fib (fx- n 1)) (fib (fx- n 2)))))

(def (main) (display (fib 47)) (newline))

Compiled with gxc -O -exe -o gerbil.fib

Similar results on x86_64

And is faster than SBCL.

Anyone have any benchmarks?

Security through minority actually.

Or speed laws based on mass.

NetBSD devs are like ants in a colony without a queen. As a former dev, I can attest to this.

Plus the "shelter in place" directive this seems very bad.

Remember Gerbil is a layer on top of Gambit, which has been 30 years in the making.

Gitter has been a great resource. Vyzo is very helpful in answering questions. The docs could use some work. But the code is fairly trivial to follow on most things.

We use Gerbil/Gambit scheme in production. The new actor system makes it a very compelling.

I tell coworkers who ask "It's Emux... tmux but graphical!"

Until GNUs is hit with the g command.

I will give you a cons. https://cons.io Gerbil/Gambit scheme are fully static binary generating alternative to CL.

Anyone who has worked at the fort can assure you that's not how it works...
