Clozure CL (formerly OpenMCL)
- zephjc 17y agoSo which came first: Clozure, or Clojure?
- ramchip 17y agoA more interesting question than I expected! Clozure's more or less official announcement was on October 19th, 2007. ( http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.mcl.general/2593 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.mcl.general/2593 ) Clojure was released on October 17th, 2007. ( http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/msg/16fec21eb1fff8aa http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/msg/16fec21eb1fff8aa ) Of course Clozure is much older if you look at the code and not just the name.
- samuel 17y agoI'm in my nth effort to learn (Common) Lisp, and this is the implementation I've chosen, mostly because its portability (read it as I could run it in Windows, despite not being my preferred environment). The only thing that may worry me a little at the improbable case of using it for production code is: strings are encoded in UTF-32!! That's 4 times more memory than necessary for my usual use cases...
- dragonquest 17y agoFrom my limited experience, Clisp also is a fine option for running on Windows in case you are looking for an alternative.
- mark_l_watson 17y agoI just installed Clozure on a new Windows laptop (yes, I know, but it has 4 cores, and was inexpensive). On OS X and Linux I was used to running SBCL (or Franz).
