Summary Knowledge Access & Digital Participation Acknowledges
The cl-kawa repository on GitHub demonstrates structural and editorial alignment with multiple UDHR provisions, particularly those addressing freedom of expression (Article 19), education and cultural participation (Articles 26-27), and information access. The public, collaborative nature of the open-source project embodies rights-affirming principles through borderless knowledge sharing and voluntary association. However, observable analytics infrastructure and platform-conditional intellectual property rights create minor tensions with privacy and absolute ownership provisions. Overall, the repository exemplifies how collaborative digital infrastructure can support human rights while remaining subject to platform governance constraints.
The OpenLDK is very interesting - it looks like it “compiles” to the vintage procedural dialect within CL (eg TAGBODY etc.) I wonder if someone’s ever bypassed the “procedural Lisp” level and just used a CL implementation’s internal assembler interactively, though. (IIRC both SBCL and CCL expose theirs.)
If you are interested in this, you might also be interested to learn that I also got clojure running on SBCL via OpenLDK. See https://github.com/atgreen/cl-clojure.
Regarding LLM-usage, the bulk of OpenLDK was written without the use of LLMs. But recently I let Claude loose on the code to fix a few remaining problems blocking kawa. Claude also upleveled the Java support from Java 8 to Java 21.
TAGBODY/GO are broadly used in advanced Lisp macros. If you expand a non-trivial extended LOOP invocation you'd likely see some.
If you compile to an implemenation's assembler (even where that possible) you don't really compile into Lisp anymore. And really the Lisp compiler is going to do a better job at generating machine code.
The Computer Abstractions book/course for Scheme had some kind of VM written in Java where you had to write an assembler in Scheme as the final 'biggie' project.
I did that to write simd routines for sbcl: https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/blob/master/src/code/arm64-simd...
Probably the best way of writing assembly, can evaluate the function immediately, use macros and any other code to emit instructions, even can print register values (instruction-level stepping would be even better, but too much work).
Well, GNU Kawa is named after the Polish word for coffee (going with a play on Java rather than a play on Scheme like Guile and Larceny EDIT: and Gambit went with).
The newer ones are mostly vibecoded if that matters to you.
