| 19 | <dd>"Maxima algebraic computation software compiles with ABCL. The test suite |
|---|
| 20 | runs fairly quickly on Windows XP and, after work by Robert Dodier, 86 |
|---|
| 21 | percent of the test suite is passed successfully, although some individual |
|---|
| 22 | tests crash the suite. If you want to compile Maxima with ABCL lisp, check |
|---|
| 23 | out the Maxima source code and following the instructions in INSTALL.lisp." |

| 30 | I'm using ABCL for various web projects since aproximately 2004. None of them have gone public (so far), so i can't give a link. |
|---|
| 31 | I released sort of framework for building web apps with ABCL was released into |
|---|
| 32 | open source: <a href="http://abcl-web.sourceforge.net/">abcl-web</a>. |
|---|
| 33 | Another thing probably worth mentioning -- bindings to Jena2 RDF/SPARQL library: |
|---|
| 34 | http://abcl-web.sourceforge.net/rdf.html (it's sort of incomplete but usable, i think). |
|---|
| 35 | <br /> |
|---|
| 36 | What i like in ABCL is that it has reasonably stable multithreading, does |
|---|
| 37 | not crash unpredictably (unlike some other implementations) and can be |
|---|
| 38 | fixed in more-or-less easy way if something goes bad, and access to Java |
|---|
| 39 | libs, of course. I had some problems with it, though, to name some: |
|---|
| 40 | <ul> |
|---|
| 41 | <li>SLIME being botched (i suspect due to CLOS invoking compiler which is not |
|---|
| 42 | reentrant),</li> |
|---|
| 43 | <li>CLOS not thread safe,</li> |
|---|
| 44 | <li>compiler producing wrong code.</li> |
|---|
| 45 | </ul> |
|---|
| 46 | That certainly made experience with ABCL less pleasant that it could be, |
|---|
| 47 | but in general it was more-or-less good. |

| 52 | <dd>I'm currently integrating ABCL in a small, unreleased open source |
|---|
| 53 | project. It's a sort of graphical object browser for Java (but its GUI |
|---|
| 54 | sucks badly for now...). It can be run locally or as a client-server |
|---|
| 55 | application. I'm adding scripting support so you can access some |
|---|
| 56 | functionality from Lisp (or in principle any other Java Scripting API |
|---|
| 57 | compatible script engine, though I'm focusing on ABCL). |
