Common Lisp Interface Manager

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM) is a Common Lisp-based programming interface for creating user interfaces — i.e., GUIs. It is completely object-oriented and is based on the idea of stream input and output. There are also facilities for output device independence. It is descended from the GUI systems of Symbolics's Lisp machines[1]

A Free implementation of CLIM is in development; it is called McCLIM.

  1. ^ "...you can check out Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM). A descendant of the Symbolics Lisp Machines GUI framework, CLIM is powerful but complex. Although many commercial Common Lisp implementations actually support it, it doesn't seem to have seen a lot of use. But in the past couple years, an open-source implementation of CLIM, McCLIM--now hosted at Common-Lisp.net--has been picking up steam lately, so we may be on the verge of a CLIM renaissance."[1] from "Conclusion: What's Next?" in Practical Common Lisp, by Peter Seibel.
