Gsoc: Multithreading support inquiry

Hi everyone,

I was browsing through some of the GNU project ideas from previous years
and came across those of the CLisp project (
https://clisp.sourceforge.io/wanted.html). Specifically adding
multithreading support to CLisp intrigued me due to my general interest in
concurrent algorithms and data structures. I was wondering whether this
project still needs work to be done and whether the lock-free hash table
implementation remains one of the last missing pieces. I saw there were
some discussions on this topic in previous mail threads but couldn't find
out whether a working solution was provided or whether it is being worked
on.

Another interesting, perhaps related avenue, is HTTP framework support for
cl-http and AllegroServe mentioned in the release notes. It points to
multithreading as the main blocker. Is there still use in providing support
for these?

Regards,
Michael
