I have no _direct_ comparison between SBCL and GCC. However, for one project I'm working on, I've been able to use both SBCL and GCL (which uses GNU C as back-end). While I affectionally go with GCL, I must applaud SBCL for its quality, speed, and informative notes. http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2007-03/msg00047.html I'm only a SBCL user, not developer -- and I'm not familiar with its code base. I work with GCL code base, but its documentation is just as good that of Axiom (which is a constant real pain for us). GCC definitely has an edge there. Camm Maguire (the main GCL developer), Robert Boyer and I all agree that GCC's speed badly affects GCL's speed negatively. [ GCL compiles Lisp codes by translation to C codes, compilation on the fly. ] For HAskell, GHC is the autoritative compiler. Overall, I tend to find it as good as GCC -- except that GHC comes with *lots* of libraries and good documentation; but, we are not comparing libraries here I think.
