Parenscript code can run almost identically on both the +browser (as JavaScript) and server (as Common Lisp). + +Parenscript code is treated the same way as Common Lisp code, making the full +power of Lisp macros available for JavaScript. This provides a web +development environment that is unmatched in its ability to reduce code +duplication and provide advanced meta-programming facilities to web +developers. + +At the same time, Parenscript is different from almost all other \"language +X\" to JavaScript translators in that it imposes almost no overhead: + +@itemize +@item No run-time dependencies: Any piece of Parenscript code is runnable +as-is. There are no JavaScript files to include. +@item Native types: Parenscript works entirely with native JavaScript data +types. There are no new types introduced, and object prototypes are not +touched. +@item Native calling convention: Any JavaScript code can be called without the +need for bindings. Likewise, Parenscript can be used to make efficient, +self-contained JavaScript libraries. +@item Readable code: Parenscript generates concise, formatted, idiomatic +JavaScript code. Identifier names are preserved. This enables seamless +debugging in tools like Firebug. +@item Efficiency: Parenscript introduces minimal overhead for advanced Common +Lisp features. The generated code is almost as fast as hand-written +JavaScript. +@end itemize\n") + (license license:bsd-3)))) + +(define-public cl-parenscript + (sbcl-package->cl-source-package sbcl-parenscript)) + +(define-public ecl-parenscript + (sbcl-package->ecl-package sbcl-parenscript))
