: So given this set of requirements, PowerLisp looks pretty good to me,
: much better than XLISP, which I understand runs interpreted. If I can
: port my code from MCL 2.0.1 (where it's been running quite well for the
: past year or two) to PowerLisp 1.2, then I can run native on the PowerMac
: until MCL also supports native mode.
: So, that's my plan, until and unless I find another better CommonLisp that
: runs native on PowerMac. However, I'm still very new to using PowerLisp
: and time will tell whether this plan works or not-- So far, I'm optimistic.
Plus, who knows if PowerLisp works out well I might wind up staying with
it indefinitely, depending on the upgrade cost for PowerMac Native MCL...
So far, I'm impressed with the work that Roger Corman has done on PowerLisp.
