Show HN: Interactive Common Lisp: An Enhanced REPL
atgreen Sunday, December 14, 2025
I created this because sometimes I want more than rlwrap but less than emacs. icl aims to hit that middle sweet spot.
It's a terminal application with context-aware auto-complete, an interactive object inspector, auto-indentation, syntax colouring, persistent history, and much more. It uses sly to communicate with the child lisp process and aims to be compatible with any sly-supporting implementation. I hope others find it useful!
Summary
The article describes the ICL (Inter-Compiler Language) project, an initiative to create a common intermediate representation for compilers to improve portability and code generation. The goal is to develop a standardized format that can be used by multiple compiler projects to facilitate collaboration and code reuse.
