JSCL
A Common Lisp to JavaScript compiler bootstrapped from Common Lisp and executable in the browser.
What is JSCL?
JSCL is a Common Lisp to JavaScript compiler that translates Lisp code into JavaScript, allowing it to run in browsers and JavaScript environments like Node.js and Deno. It is bootstrapped from Common Lisp, meaning the compiler itself is written in Common Lisp and can be executed from the browser, solving the problem of integrating Lisp into web-based projects.
Common Lisp developers who want to write code that runs in web browsers or JavaScript environments, and JavaScript developers interested in exploring Lisp's functional programming capabilities.
Developers choose JSCL because it provides a bridge between Common Lisp and the JavaScript ecosystem, offering a subset of Common Lisp features with browser execution, without requiring external Lisp environments. Its bootstrapped nature ensures authenticity to Lisp semantics.
