It is designed with the purpose of providing the goodies of CLOS programming, but in an object-based environment. As such, it shares a lot of syntax and semantics with CLOS, including multiple delegation (similar to multiple inheritance) and multiply-dispatched functions (similar to generic functions). http://www.cl-user.net/asp/impl/ABCL11745Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:19:34 GMTArmed Bear Common Lisp (ABCL) is an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp that runs in a Java virtual machine.http://www.cl-user.net/asp/persons/frgo13326Fri, 15 Jan 2010 09:05:35 GMTUsing Lisp for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM/PDM) applications.

Autowrite is an experimental tool written in Common Lisp for checking properties of term rewrite systems (TRSs) .It was initially designed to check call-by-need (CBN) properties of TRSs. For this purpose, it implements all the basic operations on tree (term) automata (determinization, minimization, union, intersection, decision procedure for emptyness) and many useful operations on terms, TRSs and term automata. A graphical interface frees the user of any lisp knowledge. It is written using FreeCLIM , the free implementation of the CLIM specification. From this interface, one can handle TRSs, term automata and build many term automata related to TRSs. one can check membership to CBN for the different approximations of a given system. Autowrite can also be used independently from the graphical interface (and independently of CLIM) as a library of operations on terms, term automata and term rewriting systems.http://www.cl-user.net/asp/persons/Leonardo%20Cecchi16859Sun, 31 May 2009 13:38:10 GMTDeveloper of Common Lisp GTK-Server Wrapperhttp://www.cl-user.net/asp/libs/Gtk-Server%20Wrapper16858Sun, 31 May 2009 13:34:10 GMTCommon Lisp Gtk-Server Wrapper works with Gtk-Server to access the GTK widget set for another process using many communication protocols.http://www.cl-user.net/asp/libs/cl-json12607Mon, 25 May 2009 21:41:48 GMTA parser and generator for the JSON data-interchange format.http://www.cl-user.net/asp/libs/ch-util13769Mon, 04 May 2009 04:22:09 GMTA collection of miscellaneous utilities for string manipulation, filesystem access, unit testing, array processing, operations on sequences, and more.http://www.cl-user.net/asp/libs/FSBV16836Mon, 04 May 2009 04:22:09 GMTCall foreign functions when one or more arguments and/or the return value are structures.

The well-known "GoF Book" describes 23 software design patterns. Its influence in the software engineering community has been dramatic. However, Peter Norvig notes that "16 of [these] 23 patterns are either invisible or simpler [...]" in Dylan or Lisp (Design Patterns in Dynamic Programming, Object World, 1996). We claim that this is not a consequence of the notion of "pattern" itself, but rather of the way patterns are generally described; the GoF book being typical in this matter. Whereas patterns are supposed to be general and abstract, the GoF book is actually very much oriented towards mainstream object languages such as C++. As a result, most of its 23 "design patterns" are actually closer to "programming patterns", or "idioms", if you choose to adopt the terminology of the POSA Book. In this talk, we would like to envision software design patterns from the point of view of dynamic languages and specifically from the angle of CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System. Taking the Visitor pattern as an illustration, we will show how a generally useful pattern can be blurred into the language, sometimes to the point of complete disappearance. The lesson to be learned is that software design patterns should be used with care, and in particular, will never replace an in-depth knowledge of your preferred language (in our case, the mastering of first-class and generic functions, lexical closures and meta-object protocol). By using patterns blindly, your risk missing the obvious and most of the time simpler solution: the "Just Do It" pattern. http://www.cl-user.net/asp/web-sites/BinMeths16832Tue, 28 Apr 2009 08:00:19 GMTImplementing binary methods in traditional object-oriented languages is difficult: numerous problems arise regarding the relationship between types and classes in the context of inheritance, or the need for privileged access to the internal representation of objects. Most of these problems occur in the context of statically typed languages that lack multi-methods (polymorphism on multiple arguments). The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, we show why some of these problems are either non-issues, or easily solved in Common-Lisp. Then, we demonstrate how the Common-Lisp Object System (CLOS) allows us not only to implement binary methods in a straightforward way, but also to support the concept directly, and even enforce it at different levels (usage and implementation). http://www.cl-user.net/asp/web-sites/OBPL2115629Tue, 28 Apr 2009 07:54:14 GMTThis article reports the results of an ongoing experimental research on the behavior and performance of CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System. Our purpose is to evaluate the behavior and performance of the 3 most important characteristics of any dynamic object oriented system: class instantiation, slot access and dynamic dispatch. This paper describes the results of our experiments on instantiation. We evaluate the efficiency of the instantiation process in both C++ and Lisp under a combination of parameters such as slot types or classes hierarchy. We show that in a non-optimized configuration where safety is given priority on speed, the behavior of C++ and Lisp instantiation can be quite different, which is also the case amongst different Lisp compilers. On the other hand, we demonstrate that when compilation is tuned for speed, instantiation in Lisp can become faster than in C++. http://www.cl-user.net/asp/web-sites/OBPL114185Tue, 28 Apr 2009 07:38:23 GMTThis paper presents an ongoing research on the behavior and performance of LISP with respect to C in the context of scientific numerical computing. Several simple image processing algorithms are used to evaluate the performance of pixel access and arithmetic operations in both languages. We demonstrate that the behavior of equivalent LISP and C code is similar with respect to the choice of data structures and types, and also to external parameters such as hardware optimization. We further demonstrate that properly typed and optimized LISP code runs as fast as the equivalent C code, or even faster in some cases. http://www.cl-user.net/asp/persons/DidierVerna14824Tue, 28 Apr 2009 07:33:38 GMTAssistant Professor at EPITA (French computer science private university), organizer of the European Lisp Workshop, member of the European Lisp Symposium steering committee, XEmacs maintainer and part-time jazz musician.http://www.cl-user.net/asp/web-sites/Lisp%20Idioms13750Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:10:45 GMTAn article by Gene Michael Stover with various Common Lisp idioms for working with lists, sequences, matrixes, and other data.
