Well, lisp != common lisp aside, I wouldn't mind a native CL system. I haven't looked at the SBCL backend in quite sometime, but, assuming it's not terribly insane, that would be a decent route. Most CL work that isn't specific to one of the proprietary systems (Allegro, LispWorks, &c.) is written with SBCL or, to a lesser extent, CCL. If anyone's interested in working on a CL port to plan9, I'll start a lisp cabal, that can work on other systems next.

I'll look today...

lisp has been discuss in 9fans several times already

Anybody started porting clisp, gcl or any of the main lisp compilers?
I have been going at it on-and-off for some time never really
progressed, I was hoping
someone already started and got bored with it. I am hoping to use that
as a starting point.

where can I get the latest gcc port? maybe it's good enough to compile
one of the lisp compiler.
