A Road to Lisp: Which Lisp

Re:A Road to Lisp: Which Lisp by ynniv on Friday July 17, 2026 @11:59AM (#48948906)

I have a work-in-progress called Modus. 100% written by Claude, so take that however you will. The current release boots on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. The next release (unreleased in the pipe for ~ months) is standard Common Lisp on bare aarch64 (pi) and x64 (qemu for now), with linux aarch64 and x64 command line interfaces à la sbcl.

Since you can't use an OS by itself, I've rounded out the Common Lisp environment with portable ssh client and server, web browser, and a bitcoin node. Framebuffer with VNC in the pipe

That's pretty neat!

God help me if I fell down a hole like that.

I must say, however, that e.g. code like (compile-compound) is something only an AI can love!

There's https://scheme.fail/ for bare metal Lisping too.
