First-aid documentation is in the manpages lisp(1) and cmucl(1) and
|
|
|
|
|
via the normal Common Lisp documentation runtime functions (describe

...) (documentation ...) and (apropos ...). The WWW homepage contains

CMUCL's strength in comparison with other Lisp systems (or most other
|
|
|
|
|
dynamic language implementations in general) is its highly optimizing
|
|
|
|
|
compiler. If you know how to write efficient Common Lisp code, you
|
|
|
|
|
are free of unwanted memory allocation, type checks, indirections to
|
|
|
|
|
objects. CMUCL helps you to write efficient Common Lisp --- it
|
|
|
|
|
generates very informative warning messages about code constructs that
|
|
|
|
|
prevent compilation to efficient code.
