A Common Lisp implementation by {Bruno Haible (http://haible.de/bruno/)} of Karlsruhe University and Michael Stoll (http://math.uni-duesseldorf.de/CLISPstoll/). of Munich University, both in Germany. CLISP includes an interpreter, bytecode compiler, almost all of the CLOS object system, a foreign language interface and a {socket interface}. An X11 interface is available through CLX and Garnet. Command line editing is provided by the GNU readline library. CLISP requires only 2 MB of RAM. The user interface comes in German, English, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Russian and can be changed at run time. CLISP is Free Software and distributed under the GPL. It runs on microcomputers (OS/2, Microsoft Windows, Amiga, Acorn) as well as on Unix workstations (Linux, BSD, SVR4, Sun4, Alpha, HP-UX, NeXTstep, SGI, AIX, Sun3, and others).

CLISP

In computing, CLISP is an implementation of the programming language Common Lisp originally developed by Bruno Haible and Michael Stoll for the Atari ST. Today it supports the Unix and Microsoft Windows operating systems.

CLISP includes an interpreter, a bytecode compiler, debugger, socket interface, high-level foreign language interface, strong internationalization support, and two object systems: Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) and metaobject protocol (MOP).

It is written in C and Common Lisp. It is now part of the GNU Project and is free software, available under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
