2 months ago
- Project Mage aims to build a power-user environment and set of applications in Common Lisp.
- For a comprehensive discussion, see 'The Power of Structure'.
- For a brief outlook, see 'Project Mage: The Elevator Pitch'.
- The listed essays can be read in any order.
- Progress reports are available in the News section.
Llambda.lisp
3 months ago
- Llama.cpp is a widely used method for running LLM models locally.
- Popular LLM servers such as Ollama, lmstudio, and unsloth utilize llama.cpp as their underlying technology.
- Llama.cpp is implemented in C++.
- The author prefers Common Lisp over C++ and believes it can achieve comparable performance with proper declarations.
- A Common Lisp implementation of llama.cpp called llambda.lisp has been created.
- llambda.lisp is available on GitHub at github.com/jrm-code-project/llambda.
- Contributions are sought for features like support for non-gemma architectures, GPU, NPU, and other enhancements.
The Common Lisp Cookbook – LispWorks Review
3 months ago
- LispWorks is a proprietary Common Lisp implementation with an IDE and CAPI GUI toolkit, offering free limited version.
- Key features include multi-platform support, portable GUI toolkit, mobile runtime, optimized application delivery, and various interfaces.
- Free edition has limitations like heap size limits, 5-hour session time, inability to build binaries, and no initialization file loading.
- Paid editions: Hobbyist, HobbyistDV, Professional, and Enterprise, with prices starting at 750 USD.
- IDE provides graphical tools like stepper, tracer, class browser, and process browser, but editor lacks some advanced features.
- Keybindings are Emacs-like but differ; customizable via editor functions. Listener offers instant parsing and graphical debugger.
- Stepper allows breakpoints and step-through debugging with graphical interface. Class and function call browsers aid code inspection.
- Process Browser manages threads. Images save entire IDE state. Search Files and compilation conditions browser enhance development.
- Can use LispWorks from Emacs/Slime via Swank server or console image. Delivery function creates small binaries with tree-shaking.
- Delivery excludes compile-file and quickload; remote debugging possible. See IDE User Guide and additional resources for more.
