Towards CL21 When Common Lisp Becames a 1-Lisp

1 points by towardsCL21 ↗ HN
Now that schemes are big, the great difference between CL and schemes is the two cells of a symbol one for symbol-value and other for the symbol function.

What would be the main difficulty to port programs to the new Lisp?

What about the difficulty of modifying the main implementations, for example sbcl to work as a Lisp-1?

What about the Clojure, Racket and Scheme people, would they embrace with joy this or would they be horrified to see their supposed enemy become an allied?

I would like to see so many great programmers working together, it would be wonderful to see what they can achieve when they join their energy and strength.

I also would like to see Paul with a new Arc.

That would be only a first step towards the great unification. The great virtue of Lisp is the capability to port programs from one dialect to other, we have the power of macros as no other language has, we need to confine the energy to create the new Lisp.
