CMUCL is the CMU implementation of Common Lisp. This is a 18a
|
|
prerelease, probably the most stable version to get for FreeBSD. For
|
|
further information see http://www.cons.org/cmucl/
|
|
|
|
First-aid documentation is in the manpages lisp(1) and cmucl(1) and
|
|
via the normal Common Lisp documentation runtime functions (describe
|
|
...) (documentation ...) and (apropos ...). There is a real user
|
|
manual that is currently adopted to 18a. See the homepage for
|
|
pointers, we have GNU info, postscript and initial HTML files.
|
|
|
|
CMUCL's strength in comparison with other Lisp systems (or dynamic
|
|
languages in general) is its highly optimizing compiler. If you know
|
|
how to write efficient Common Lisp code, you are free of unwanted
|
|
memory allocation, type checks, indirections to objects. And CMUCL
|
|
helps you to write efficient Common Lisp, it generates very
|
|
informative warning messages about code constructs that prevent
|
|
compilation to efficient code.
|
|
|
|
Optional packages for graphical user interfaces and other Common Lisp
|
|
applications and libraries (I.e. "Hemlock" Editor) are are on
|
|
ftp://ftp2.cons.org/pub/languages/lisp/cmucl/binaries/ (FreeBSD-Binaries) and
|
