    Timothy Baldridge presents Pixie, a lightweight Lisp built on RPython, at Strange Loop 2015. It covers C interop, immutable data structures, fast startup and async-by-default IO.

    HN mentions it as the author's own overview of Pixie, with an interesting implementation technique near the end.

    1. @lemmingJul 2016· in “Carp: a statically typed lisp, without a GC, for high performance applications”

      Also check out Pixie's - towards the end of this video . It's a really interesting technique, and for a Lisp too.

    2. @agumonkeyJan 2017· in “How Lisp-family languages facilitate building bioinformatics applications”

      It seems so.. which makes my LLVM mention false. There's a talk by the author online this video worth it

    3. @souenzzoAug 2017· in “Hy – A Lisp-flavored Python”

      It's not "dead" this video It's a weekend project, for fun. Functions that are work will not stop to work. I'm using it and I pretend to contribute when I find a problem.
