In plain words

This product brings Common Lisp programming capabilities directly into web browsers. It allows developers and Lisp enthusiasts to write and execute Common Lisp code without leaving their browser environment. The tool is designed for those interested in functional programming and Lisp language exploration. It stands out by making a traditionally desktop-based language accessible through a web interface, eliminating installation requirements and enabling quick experimentation with Common Lisp syntax and features.

From the sources

Web Embeddable Common Lisp is a project that brings Common Lisp and the Web Browser environments together. In this post I'll outline the current progress of the project and provide some technical details, including current caveats and future plans. It is important to note that this is not a release and none of the described APIs and functionalities is considered to be stable. Things are still changing and I'm not accepting bug reports for the time being. The source code of the project is available: https://fossil.turtleware.eu/wecl/ . The easiest way to use Common Lisp on a website is to include WECL and insert script tags with a type "text/common-lisp". When the attribute src is present,…from turtleware.eu

    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!

    Common Lisp running natively over WebAssembly for the first time2022 · soi-disant.srht.site · ▲97

    A month or so ago, I ported a Common Lisp implementation (npt) to WebAssembly to make a silly blog post, because I was bored and have a lot of time on my hands to waste with things like this (I don't have a job, and because I have next to no experience, these meaningless, silly projects tend to fill what time I do have). This is significant as it's the first time Common Lisp in particular has ever been hosted on it; wasm has a few poor decisions in its design that make it less-than-conducive to being a target for Common Lisp, and a lot of the more interesting implementations require an…

    I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

    Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

  • I was curious about spherical helix, ended up making this visualization▲865

    I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!

  • The current sky at your approximate location, as a CSS gradient▲788

    For HTML Day 2025 [1], I made a web service that displays the current sky at your approximate location as a CSS gradient. Colours are simulated on-demand using atmospheric absorption and scattering coefficients. Updates every minute, without the use of client-side JavaScript.
