dear lispers,

what is the state of the art in running lisp (not just CL) on mobile
platforms, preferably in a portable way?

There was an ECL port attempt but I didn't track it too closely lately

I remember vaguely that a few scheme would be available and I thing CCL

is also in the picture. I'd rather talk for MKCL if you don't mind.

is mkcl viable to run as a native app both on iOS and android?

right now it is not, period. But it is on my list of things to do any month now.

As soon as I get the ffi to be C99-complete as I say, and that I am done

with the proper interface to the "environment" (that CLTL2 thing, you know)

I will get right to it.

if iOS has too many legal constraints and whatnot, then let's forget
it for now.

I worked up a few thing that should be able to accommodate it pretty well I think.

Basically, MKCL is now layered in at least two levels with the lowest surely

to the taste of the most paranoid, well I hope. I see it as a cheap and easy tree shaker.

what are the downsides of connecting to the NDK (android C API)? how
much of android is not available through the NDK?

Haven't touched it yet.
