The garbage collection mechanism employed by Lily is slow which will make it unattractive for commercial use. This is the first release of Lily. My hope is that lots of people will be interested in Lily. If that turns out to be the case then I will gladly enhance Lily and its documentation. But for now, I just want to get Lily out there and get some feedback.
Documentation is minimal.
To make the Lily library and all the examples just type 'make'. The best way to learn about Lily is to examine the example programs. I didn't include these features because I didn't want to clutter things. If there is sufficient interest in Lily I would be happy to provide them. It's actually quite easy to do.
