GNU Common Lisp and CLISP are two different things. GNU Common Lisp : https://www.gnu.org/software/gcl/ https://www.gnu.org/software/gcl/ GNU CLISP : http://clisp.org http://clisp.org CLISP hasn't had a release in a few years, but the repository has a lot of activity these days: https://sourceforge.net/p/clisp/clisp/ci/e4aba2ecdcf71968053cc457bb21db2bf2a04960/log/?path= https://sourceforge.net/p/clisp/clisp/ci/e4aba2ecdcf71968053... > there hasn't been a release of GNU Common LISP ("clisp") in 7 years. CLISP had a beta release a few days ago. Just installed it on my Mac: this is GNU CLISP 2.49.50 from 2017-03-19. $ clisp i i i i i i i ooooo o ooooooo ooooo ooooo I I I I I I I 8 8 8 8 8 o 8 8 I \ `+' / I 8 8 8 8 8 8 \ `-+-' / 8 8 8 ooooo 8oooo `-__|__-' 8 8 8 8 8 | 8 o 8 8 o 8 8 ------+------ ooooo 8oooooo ooo8ooo ooooo 8 Welcome to GNU CLISP 2.49.50 (2017-03-19) <http://clisp.org/> Copyright (c) Bruno Haible, Michael Stoll 1992, 1993 Copyright (c) Bruno Haible, Marcus Daniels 1994-1997 Copyright (c) Bruno Haible, Pierpaolo Bernardi, Sam Steingold 1998 Copyright (c) Bruno Haible, Sam Steingold 1999-2000 Copyright (c) Sam Steingold, Bruno Haible 2001-2010 Type :h and hit Enter for context help. [1]> (lisp-implementation-version) "2.49.50 (2017-03-19) (built 3699208367) (memory 3699208818)" Doesn't look dead to me... GNU Common Lisp is currently a bit less active: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gcl.git/log/ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gcl.git/log/ Other 'free/open source' implementations are currently more interesting, especially ECL, Clozure CL and SBCL. I have on my 32bit ARM under Linux the following implementations: GCL, ECL, LispWorks, SBCL, CCL, ABCL. LispWorks, CCL and SBCL are native compilers. I'd say that's enough choice. > LISP is really dead now Not more than usual.

clisp.org says: Current version: 2.49 (2010-07-07). Two people are still making source checkins, but there hasn't been a new release since 2010. It's nice to know that someone is still working on it, but they're not making it to a release version.

Sam Steingold joined 1999. If CLISP is important to you, why not help them with testing the new beta release?

  Whoa, a whole entire two people! On just one project? I've been toiling all alone since mid 2009 on a great language called TXR which includes a fantastic new Lisp dialect with many original features and ideas. $ git log --oneline | wc 3643 45798 313606 Over 3600 commits since switching to git late October 2009, after version 18.
