A Common Lisp to JavaScript compiler bootstrapped from Common Lisp and executable in browsers.
What is pull request?
JSCL is a Common Lisp to JavaScript compiler that translates Lisp code into JavaScript, enabling it to run in web browsers and Node.js environments. It is bootstrapped from Common Lisp, meaning the compiler itself is written in Lisp and can be executed in the browser, solving the problem of bringing Lisp's expressive power to web development.
Lisp developers interested in web programming, researchers exploring language compilation, and educators teaching Lisp in browser-based environments.
Developers choose JSCL for its unique bootstrapped approach, allowing Lisp code compilation and execution directly in browsers, and its support for a wide subset of Common Lisp features like CLOS and multiple values, which are rare in other Lisp-to-JS compilers.
