Here I disagree. gcl development is not stalled. 2.7.0 will have a lot of
new exciting stuff (including speed improvements). Camm Maguire is very
helpful and responsive.
I never had problems with gcl until recently. I always used it as my main
common lisp for maxima and other things. Recently, I uninstalled it, and
installed again (the same version). And after that, it is broken. It seems
that there is some serious flaw in the gcl Gentoo ebuild (this never
happens on Debian, for example; but Camm is a Debian developer :-)
