"cl-kawa: A Turducken of Programming Languages
February 21, 2026 路 Anthony Green
"A turducken is a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey. cl-kawa is the programming language equivalent: Kawa Scheme running on a Java runtime running inside Common Lisp. Three language runtimes nested in a single SBCL process, sharing one heap, with no FFI, no sockets, and no external JVM."

Do you both have opinions?
@screwlisp @dougmerritt @ramin_hal9001 Demented. And yet, can we not then host Ramin's Emacs Lisp in Kawa in CL? Finally, it is freed from dependence on real hardware.
These stacks always remind me of the "launch" in Greg Egan's Permutation City. Some computation is necessary to prove it real, then Dust Hypothesis lifts it out of need for reality.
