Look at the hoops OP had to jump through to get SBCL working on Windows. I think Graal would compared favourably with that.

Probably, but that doesn't mean Graal is good; it just means they're both bad.

Compare it to something like Go or Rust where there are no hoops and they're both well supported on Windows and Mac. I haven't actually used it but I believe Zig has very good cross platform support too.

if I recall correctly Rust support for windows still has issues, namely there are a number of Windows specific APIs that are either not well supported or aren’t supported at all.

I could be mistaken or recalling outdated information of course, but that is what I remember from the last time I looked into it

What did you mean? Can't the user just download Portacle and use it?

Problem solved.

Right at the top of the article, the author outlines the requirement was that it must be usable within vim.

Not an issue for Common Lisp, you can use whatever you like, but interacting with a REPL gives you superpowers.

Not really. OP needs to build executables. It is documented here: https://blog.djhaskin.com/blog/release-common-lisp-on-your-f...

Portacle ships SBCL so one can build executables when using Portacle.
