Currently, my main project is Gsharp, but in the past, I have also worked on McCLIM.

Some other large projects I am somewhat involved in and some minor projects of my own are:

• Portable Hemlock. I would like to replace the current buffer implementation with one based on Flexichain (below).
• Flexichain, an attempt to implement a very efficient gap buffer which also has a well-defined external protocol.
• An Earley parser with some interesting generalizations that make it useful for processing natural langages.
• Rotatable skiplist implementation that I needed for Flexichain.
• A library for reading and writing MIDI files (part of Gsharp).
• A library to divide a sequence of objects into subsequences in an optimal way, where optimal is externally defined (but with some restrictions), and incrementally so that after the sequence has been edited, only a constant-time computation is necessary in order to recompute the new optimal subsequences. I use this to divide a music score into pages and systems in Gsharp essentially after each key stroke. It could also be used in a word processor such as Texmacs, or in Closure. This library is part of the Gsharp distribution.

Here are some projects that I have not yet started, but that I am thinking of:

• A near-real-time, generational, SMP-aware garbage collector for some current implementation such as SBCL.
• A very fast FFT implementation to be used with current free implementations of Common Lisp.
• A library for analysis, manipulation, and synthesis of sound (this is actually being worked on).
