Im seeing charts which lack the data saying what they mean. Most others have numbers, indicate higher/lower is better for given benchmark, etc. That's my gripe.

Oh I understood your gripe from the start. My confusion was that I couldn't locate the plots you were referring to. In any case these are not there to showcase Felix just a sanity check in the build process

Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense. I think they should do a showcase, though, as performance is a prime concern in language comparisons.

Indeed. Off topic: Given the description of your lisp tool I think you will find Clasp interesting unless you are the Clasp author :)

You're like the third person that's suggested that and joked about me being the author. I've been really crunched for time but I plan to get back into LISP soon. Might go ahead and add Clasp to my todo list for that haha.

Anyway, I was mainly considering Racket for its powerful metaprogramming abilities, IDE, and their constant optimization of compiler. The enhanced metaprogramming should nicely help with a new instant of my platform given what I did with CL's macros & meta. Thoughts?
