As far as I know they are published in ASDF systems. Some LISP systems like SBCL lets you make an executable image of the current machine status. So, check if your REPL has some kind of compiler.

When I develop in C (everybody recognized it as low level language) I use a manual buffer (and we have some sort of library for optimal file reading). Buffer size depends on the type of data but we allocate from 80 to 2K elements. When I develop in Java (a very high level language) I use a BufferedI...

Thank you for the information edgar-rft . So, as I understood, there isn't any built-in nor automatic mechanism for file buffering and I must make it manually. It makes me come another question: which is the optimal size for a memory buffer? I suppose that 1KiB or 2KiB would be fine, but it's better...

I've made some test cases using a Java library (sorry but I can't remember it's name) and for small file...

I always thought that programming in CL is a beautiful experience. I used CL only for academic purposes so I never made a h...
