Hi Rich,

I'm involved with a project that uses Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL). I'm interested in the possibility of moving it to ABCL, in order to take advantage of interoperability with some other JVM languages (eg, Clojure, JRuby, Jython).
FYI, the project software currently uses several requires:
(require :bordeaux-threads)
Bordeaux-threads - if taken to be recent enough - should not be a problem ...
(require :mcclim) ; CLIM public implementation
... but this require might be a challenge. I know that Rudi Schlatte started to port McCLIM to ABCL. I have no idea what his current progress is.
(require :MT19937) ; Mersenne Twister random number generator
No idea about this one. Never heard about problems with it, but I expect that to be because noone tried it yet.
Does anyone have any caveats or suggestions to offer? I'd also be interested in learning about ABCL (or, more generally, Common Lisp) consultants who are willing to take on small assignments.
See private mail on the subject of contracting.
Bye,
Erik.
