SBCL - "Steel Bank Common Lisp"

> Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL) is a high performance Common Lisp compiler. It is open source / free software, with a permissive license. In addition to the compiler and runtime system for ANSI Common Lisp, it provides an interactive environment including a debugger, a statistical profiler, a code coverage tool, and many other extensions.

"Steel Bank" in turn is a homage to "Carnegie Mellon" of CMUCL.


According to the Benchmarks Game, SBCL is roughly as fast as Node.

See also https://github.com/attractivechaos/plb2 ...where I provided the SBCL solutions, so there's probably still a significant chunk of performance to be squeezed out.
