Re: which LISP implementation (goal explained)

I tried a couple of timed to make it run on SBCL, that would save me
money if it worked. I failed and gave up. It compiles and starts, but
fails unpredictably in all kinds of ways imaginable, the further the
platform from Linux, the worse. The last experience has been with
0.9.11, so it is not far from being current. The platforms I need are
FreeBSD, Mac OS X/PowerPC, Mac OS X/Intel.

ok. i'm not going to attempt to sell you on sbcl, if it doesn't work
for you then don't use it. it just happens that on my platforms, Mac
OS X/PowerPC and Linux sbcl works fine. obviously, and maybe i should
have stated this explicitly, i don't expect from sbcl things which it
doesn't purport to offer (like threads on ppc).

i mentioned oracle and weblogic only to say that sbcl is as production
ready as those products (for some reason those two products are my
stereotypes of 'production ready'). i was not attempting to say that
sbcl is as large as oracle, my comment was on the quality of the code,
not the feature set.
