CMU Common Lisp definition
language (CMU CL) A
public domain "industrial strength"
Common Lisp programming environment. Many of the
X3J13 changes have been incorporated into CMU CL. Wherever possible, this has been done so as to transparently allow use of either
CLtL1 or proposed
ANSI CL. Probably the new features most interesting to users are
SETF functions,
LOOP and the
WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT macro.
The new CMU CL compiler is called
Python.
Version 17c includes an
incremental compiler, profiler, run-time support, documentation, an editor and a debugger. It runs under
Mach on
SPARC,
MIPS and
IBM PC RT and under
SunOS on
SPARC.
