What about it?

It's awesome and the lucky 10,000 deserve to be introduced to it?

A well known quantum computing company's entire stack runs on SBCL, with Emacs in production... works really well, don't knock it until you've tried it. Phenomenal REPL.

I love SBCL because it's awesome, and I hate it because it's ruined programming for me. Going back to dead languages like Java is so painful now.

Would this be the same place that Coalton came out of? (just curious)

At least two "quantum" computing places built on SBCL.

Don't think so, no, hadn't heard of that.

If you're referring to HRL then I think so.

More than 10,000 people already knowledgeable about SBCL and its awesomeness could simply splat the URL to HN, but I think readers here deserve more.

It's a recurrent event when someone on HN discovers some well-known piece of technology.

agreed, but "tosh" posted numerous times on SBCL over the last 7 years, so it's a valid question.

Eh, let tosh have his/her fun. There's not so many submissions that it would qualify as spam, and SBCL is cool! A fun reminder of less majoritarian approaches to SWE.

(Plus HN runs on it, so these threads often end up sparking some discussion of HN internals, which I think many of us enjoy.)
