Heh, thanks :)

Petalisp author here - this ELS paper is just a preview. I'm also preparing a 160 page document (for my PhD) that will explain everything in more detail. I'll post on HN when it is available.

There is also a recording of my ELS talk on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2138821711?t=00h40m35s

I was a bit surprised to see no mention of StarLisp [1]. Is this just a fundamentally different approach? I can imagine that targeting modern machines rather than the Connection Machine would be very different, but I thought the notations used in StarLisp were nice and could be reused.

Great work. I've been following Petalisp for a couple of years now. It is one of my favourite CL projects
