Yes, I agree with this, especially as there are IMHO better lisp
systems than GCL (e.g CMUCL and clisp, not to speak of the commercial
ones).
I think we should concentrate on bringing Maxima to the world of ANSI
complying Common Lisp, with as few idiosyncrasies as possible. This
is, I think, the best way tu guarantee that Maxima will survive, not
to speak of prospering.
