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.
not at all, especially if i understand correctly ECL is unmaintained and MKCL is an alive fork.
You are probably too hard on ECL (at least somewhat). But you are right that MKCL is alive and I would even add that it is moving pretty fast under the public surface...
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.
porting to android sounds like a fun project. see you on mkcl-devel... :)
Well, you may have a few difficulties subscribing to mkcl-devel since common-lisp.net is currently going through yet another great shake up. The mailing lists are back under mailman control again but I have not taken time to update the MKCL web page about it. Here is the link that I should put back:

FTR, there's this commercial lisp:
and this thread with some comments of interest:

and then there's probably the most viable:
Yes, Gambit-C by Marc Feeley is the scheme I had most in mind but I wasn't sure enough of my memory to spell it out.
especially this project based on gambit. after a very cursory search, this seems to be the most inviting/interesting without actually trying it:
Looks impressive! Thanks for the hint.
