Cool, quite impressive, thanks :)
I asked two questions:
* Do you know the connection with aldor?
* Is it feasible to port fricas completely to aldor (instead of
common-lisp based)?
a tiny snippet out of the comprehensive answers
""
Based on the codebase, porting FriCAS completely to Aldor instead of
Common Lisp would be theoretically possible but practically infeasible
due to the deep architectural dependencies on Lisp throughout the system.
""
I also think so. Only recently I tinkered with the aldor interpreter and
have to conclude that it would need enormous effort to obtain a
comparable environment like current fricas is offering.
I made a clang/scan-build of aldor
(https://nilqed.github.io/aldor-scan-build/) and could fix some
SEGFAULTS and included some more #int options in order to change
appearance (prompt/type display) so it looks more like fricas. However,
similar look doesn't mean similar behavior ;)
(see https://github.com/nilqed/aldor/tree/nilqed)
I guess the lisp sceptics have to settle for CL as part of the system ...

I discovered https://deepwiki.com today and asked it
to index fricas, here is the result:

I have skimmed through the generated doc pages, seems
accurate enough.
I also asked some questions about code base, seems
smart enough to answer some newbie's questions.
Please have a try if you have the time.
