The group I work with has alot of time and money invested in several "near"
realtime application written in muLisp for 16 bit DOS. Yes we are going to
have to do something in the near future. We had a group of our key people
look over realtime OS's. The group rated QNX for our realtime applications
well above other options. Mulisp does not support QNX. With this in mind ,
I have been involved with this news group to find the state of lisp today
and what possiblities we might have to keep our investment in our current
code.
I did not see "I've got a problem at work" talked about in this news group
so I tried to beat-around-the-bush not understanding the etiquette. I
looked at ever web site posted to see if it might contain a possiblity.
Didn't seem to find one. So I'll just ask your opinion. If "work problems"
(those we get paid for doing) are out of bounds, some body email me and i'll
drop it.
If work problems are OK then...., I guess we are about to 1) write a near
realtime lisp for the QNX RTOS least you have a better idea or 2) go to C.
I am sure you understand we would like to keep as much of our lisp
investment as possible. One close possibilty was eclispe and C..anybody use
eclisp in unix (or esp QNX) or do they support unix, dang forgot. I'll go
look again.
Just to mention (not sure this is OK either) if you have a good idea we
still have some consulting money left in the '98 budget.

Hey Rusty, don't be so defensive. Your question is very interesting
and I guess others benefit from it, too.

I don't have any experience in this area - the following are just pointers:
- ScadaLisp
- Allegro CL
- L
- G2

Hi,
Harlequin has ported it's Common Lisps to real-time OSes. We even have a
real-time garbage collector. Come and talk to us about your requirements.

Rusty,
There's a company in Toronto, called cogent (www.cogent.ca) that have
a realtime lisp running on QNX that they use for their own work with
factory control etc. Not sure if they sell it seperately. They have
a related c-like language called slang that acts as as a wrapper for
the lisp.
