Roadmap

PLATFORMS

COMPLETED

• Running and building on openjdk{8,11,17}.

FEATURES

IN PROGRESS

• Add Support for Atomic Operators (like CAS, etc.) #92 <​https://github.com/armedbear/abcl/issues/92>

DEFERRED

• CLtL Environment access

• New compiler(s):

We could use compilers "outside" of ABCL by using something like LLVM. Instrument to java6 verifier passing jvm code to ensure quality.

One frontend to multiple backends, listed by utility:

0) java 8 bytecode (53? ?)

1) java 11 bytecode (? ?)

2) WASM

3) CLR

4) Android's JVM de jure (post-Dalvik only?)

• Java 6+ bytecode verifier (running the Prolog specification for bonus points)

• refactored bytecode manipulation abstractions away from specials Allows to start parallelizing compilation

• cleaned up Streams (optionally implement a Lisp reader)
