To me it's not different from having multiple files, on the contrary it's even easier to do search and replace

Yes!

Yes, a partial list is in "Known bugs and limitations" in NOTES.

Well, the code base is smaller and (arguably) easier to read. Building is easier. There's a debugger with stepping, very easy to use

It reached version 1.6, now it covers more than 80% of the standard. alisp ships with ASDF and is capable of loading many real-world systems, let me know if your favorite system succeeds! License is GPL3 or later, no LLMs used.
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: Very little
Technologies: C, Common Lisp, some Perl and Python, GNU/Linux, networking, some HTML and Javascript, low-level, Linux drivers, interpreters and compilers

My name is Andrea Monaco and I'm 31 years old. I'm writing an implementation of the Common Lisp language with more than 80% compliance (https://savannah.nongnu.org/p/alisp). I have other projects at https://github.com/andreamonaco, among them an online multiplayer game called Zombieland, a Linux driver for my video card, and an utility to record screen on Linux.
I have a bachelor in Mathematics.
I'm looking for a job, either contract or employed. Mostly remote, unlikely to relocate

For my YouTube videos, I often need to record my laptop screen. I used both ffmpeg and OBS and while they are quite rich with features, they also introduce a big overhead.I started experimenting with the possibility of recording the framebuffer directly, bypassing the X server or Wayland: the Linux kernel provide this via a system called DMAbuf.To be fair, the idea is not mine: ffmpeg let you...

I started writing a little online 2d shooter game. It already does a few things!Any number of players can move in the same map and shoot at each other until they die; they can shoot at zombies too; they can collect rotten meat in their inventory. Meanwhile they must keep fed and hydrated.I tested in a LAN, but it should work in any network. You can even start multiple clients locally if you...
Savannah is very basic, perhaps too much, but it's okay for my project.

Implementation of the standard is still not complete, but breakpoints and stepping work quite well! It also has some support for watchpoints, that no implementation has.Now it ships with ASDF and is capable of loading systems!Let me know if you like it. Support on Patreon or Liberapay is much appreciated

I got this crazy idea of writing my own little 2d MMO game. Work has started, and I have a demo available.Any number of players can move in the same little 2d map and shoot at each other until they die; they can shoot at zombies too.I tested in a LAN, but it should work in any network. You can even start multiple clients locally if you don't have other people. Let me know how many people you...
About multi-threading: I still haven't thought about it much, but I'm optimistic; according to the paper, the algorithm is quite amenable to concurrency, since each object carries local information (the two refcounts), so some collection doesn't need global state. I agree, but we'll have to wait to see it in action
Performance seems on par with clisp, but important optimizations are yet to be done, for example my program is still single-threaded
