[comp.lang.scheme] scheme for the cray

gjc@mitech.COM (03/24/90)

It seems to me that since CRAY CPU time costs serious money,
and that if you are going to do some serious lisp work over any
length of time on it, then it would justify the cost of getting
the common-lisp implementation from CRAY.
That is the Allegro Common Lisp, which has done pretty well on Macsyma,
usually an acid-test for a lisp. (You know how things can break when
you throw large strangely-styled programs at them).

I've heard of a KCL port to the CRAY. But again, you have to look
at the cost of cpu time and the difference in runtime efficiency for
the code you are going to run.
