lisp on mobile platforms these days

[Bruce O'Neel]

Hello,

When you say "targeting mobile devices" do you mean

1. You get a lisp REPL on your Android/iPhone?
2.  You can write Apps in Lisp such that the end user does not know whether lisp is there or not.

I could be interested in either, though to be honest I am slightly more interested in the first.

Thanks.

dear lispers,
what is the state of the art in running lisp (not just CL) on mobile
platforms, preferably in a portable way?
is mkcl viable to run as a native app both on iOS and android?
if iOS has too many legal constraints and whatnot, then let's forget
it for now.

We are working on targeting mobile devices and are currently seeking alpha
testers. Please contact us directly if you would like to build a Common Lisp
runtime for iOS or Android.

We're not going to publish further details yet, so please don't ask here.

i mean the second. my primary goal is to avoid writing much code in C
or Java.

on another note, thanks a lot to everyone for the enlightening
answers!

for now i think i'll further investigate kawa, or some other lisp
based on the JVM, and look into using http://www.robovm.org/ on iOS.

i'll need easy integration with the native API's.
