I think the SPAD vs. Aldor question is probably the single biggest rock at the moment. I am very glad indeed to hear there is work on this being done behind the scenes. May I suggest as a constructive focus for current work that some of us start to check out the SPAD compiler as a unit of the code and see what might be done to start updating/polishing/figuring it out? For myself I couldn't even identify at the moment which parts of the code contain the SPAD compiling system or how integrated they are with other parts of the system. I assume other folks have better knowledge of this, but if we have a concrete task we can focus on it might help get this moving in the right direction. Gabriel, since you're working on some of this already can you suggest constructive work that those less skilled in the compiler arts might do to help you? One thing which I might be able to do something with - since there is a cmucl port out there presumably part of that work must have gotten SPAD -> lisp translation working on a more or less ANSI system - would figuring out what those changes were and getting that work into the silver branch be of some help? Or is that kind of orthogonal to the main direction? I don't have all that much time available, and less compiler skill, but I would like to be able to do something more constructive and helpful than writing emails :-).
