Beta. Quicklisp is a library manager for Common Lisp.

beta

It works with your existing Common Lisp implementation to download, install, and load any of over 900 libraries with a few simple commands. Quicklisp is easy to install and works with ABCL, Allegro CL, Clozure CL, CLISP, CMUCL, ECL, LispWorks, SBCL, and Scieneer CL, on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. The libraries were last updated on March 17, 2014. To get started with the Quicklisp beta, download and load PGP signaturesha256 = 47cfdc0f4796b4c0ca05af16b666dd4b21c5b9e62b731390c895c2d19ed6d095 Quicklisp is provided as-is without warranty of any kind.

You only need to load once to install Quicklisp. Here's an example installation session on MacOS X with SBCL. Loading After Installation. CLISP - an ANSI Common Lisp Implementation. CMUCL Home Page.

CMUCL is a free implementation of the Common Lisp programming language which runs on most major Unix platforms.

CMUCL Home Page

It mainly conforms to the ANSI Common Lisp standard. Here is a summary of its main features: Support for static arrays that are never moved by GC but are properly removed when no longer referenced.

Common Lisp implementations and their *features*.

Common Lisp implementation

All the implementations below provide an FFI and sockets interface. Callbacks mean in this context that the FFI is capable of passing lisp-functions as callbacks to foreign functions. The startup file is loaded when the Lisp starts. Not all platforms listed may be actively supported. Note: the first line below article title is misleading, it advertise 'free', but *features* link shows all including the commercial ones, and this article title does not include 'free' Note: Some implementation builds fail to include FFI, sockets, and/or threads. Daniel Weinreb has a current (as of February 2010) survey of Common Lisp implementations that is more detailed than the chart above. All Free Software Common Lisp implementations (some of these may not be actively developed): For non-free implementations, see the list on wikipedia.

Interactive Mode When called without arguments, executes the read-eval-print loop, in which expressions are in turn READ from the standard input,EVALuated by the lisp interpreter,and their results are PRINTed to the standard output. Non-Interactive (Batch) Mode Invoked with -c, compiles the specified lisp files to a platform-independent bytecode which can be executed more efficiently. Common Lisp HyperSpec (TM) CLISP - an ANSI Common Lisp Implementation. Common Lisp Object System. Features[edit] The basic building blocks of CLOS are classes, instances of classes, generic functions and their methods.

Common Lisp Object System

CLOS provides macros to define those: defclass, defgeneric and defmethod. Instances are created with the function make-instance. Classes can have multiple superclasses, a list of slots (member variables in C++/Java parlance) and a special meta class. Slots can be allocated by class (all instances of a class share the slot) or by instance. Methods in CLOS are grouped into generic functions. Dispatch in CLOS is also different from most OO languages: Given a list of arguments, a list of applicable methods is determined.This list is sorted according to the specificity of their parameter specializers.Selected methods from this list are then combined into an effective method using the method combination used by the generic function.The effective method is then called with the original arguments.

This dispatch mechanism works at runtime. For example, [edit] References[edit]
