Other great achievements from last year [0]:

- SBCL is callable as a shared library (see sbcl-librarian)

- sb-simd

- prebuilt binaries for Android (termux, unofficial)

- better image compression using zstd

- I'll add https://github.com/sionescu/sbcl-goodies, binaries with "goodies" inside (OpenSSL, libfixposix)

yay!

bonus from 2021: true static binaries are coming https://www.timmons.dev/posts/static-executables-with-sbcl-v...

OMG! I read the SBCL release notes every month, but when you put together recent highlights like this, I'm blown away. Android binaries? True static executables? Yes, please!

This is impressive progress, especially for a language so many have written off as moribund. And that's just one implementation of the spec. ECL, ABCL, and Clasp are all progressing at a brisk pace too. Maybe the only good language is a dead language.

>True static executables

Correct me if I'm wrong but this has not happened yet.

It has only been 64 years, you can't expect static executables to happen overnight.

I cannot emphasize how much of a game changer SB-SIMD has been for writing performant numeric code in SBCL. Being able to experiment with AVX intrinsics in a REPL has been quite the experience for me.
