I read in the recent GNU manifesto/news that the system languages for GNU will be C & Lisp. When is the Lisp part going to happen ? (especially one that adheres to common-lisp but with strong networking capabilities (at least it should include rpc, tcp/ip, ..etc... as part of Lisp) & extensive foreign funcalls features so that one can truely writes multilingual programs (e.g. an application written in a mix of C, Lisp, Postscript, C++ & maybe Pascal). Of course, when I said the Lisp part, I meant a standalone Lisp not one that has to invoke Emacs in order to use Lisp. -- Eric Ho Cognitive Science Lab., Princeton University voice = 609-987-2819 (x2987) email = eho@confidence.princeton.edu eho@bogey.princeton.edu regards. -eric-

No one is now working on a Lisp system specifically for GNU. It is possible that the MIT Scheme project will eventually provide a Common Lisp implementation that we could use. If you want to help, know enough about Lisp implementation to be useful, and are prepared to do a significant amout of work, contact cph@ai.mit.edu. It will probably get done faster if people work harder on it.
