So, as we found out from WWDC, the migration to Apple Silicon is inevitable.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a replacement for Macintosh Common Lisp on Apple Silicon? I was using it back in the MPW days and struggling to keep the Lisp code working, but Apple Silicon has thrown a money wrench at it!
Thanks in advance for any advice on any available Apple Silicon Lisp development tools!
I’m interested in hearing what others have to say about this. IMO we’re living in a golden age of practical function languages, so there’s a lot of choice.
Speaking of that, MCL is a general purpose languages so you’ll likely get different answers depending on what you’re using it for. Can you can share some details about what you’re doing with MCL?
Share and Enjoy

I'm trying to update an old AI research project from my college days that was fun...it actually self-coded new heuristics dynamically, so the Lisp would write and add in new Lisp to itself! It was playing Othello, but it was fun as the glue was AppleScript and the user interface was all done up in HyperCard. While I know HyperCard is not on macOS, I'm sure there must be a good Common Lisp replacement out there!
