Hi, Since one of the suggested tasks for cl-gardners is to provide summaries of similar libraries, I figured this question should be right up your alley!
I'm fairly new to Lisp. Despite this (!), I'd like to provide an FFI interface to libevent (http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ ). However, there are a bunch of competing FFIs: CFFI, UFFI, Hello-C, Verrazano, etc., and I'm not sure which to use. High on my list of concern is, of course, support for callbacks, and cross-lisp compatibility. (May that last phrase be thoroughly worthless five years from now, ugh.) If I have to choose, though, I'd prefer an FFI that works flawlessly with SBCL and CMUCL. So could somebody with a good overview of this soften my landing into the wild and woolly world that is Lisp FFIs? Thanks!
