Hello. I often think about porting Common Lisp to new platforms. Especially I am interested in CL implementation able to compile to Javascript compiler which can work in browser. In theory CL core consists of 25 special operators + build-in data types. Everything else is a library. So when porting to a new platform, theoretically, all we need to reimplement is a compiler understanding 25 operators + some build-in functions representing datatypes (make-array, aref, cons, etc) and some basic reader, allowing to read the source code of the library. How close this theoretical view to practice? We now have several open-source CL implementations. If one wants to create a Javascript port, what else he must be prepared to solve? How convenient basis the ECL codebase would be for such a port?
