This looks wonderful, especially the polishing they have been doing to the IDE. Unfortunately, it's also way outside of my price range.

- gjm11 16y agoThe Personal Edition isn't -- it's free (but crippled by heapsize and runtime limitations, and some missing features, so you have an incentive to buy one of the payware versions).
- stuhacking 16y agoIt seems to me that the main hooks of Allegro and Lispworks are things like modern UI bindings, really solid database integration, modelling tools and stand alone applications... but these are the features excluded from the trials.
- danieldk 16y agoIMO it would depend on what you do. If well-rounded libraries and a good IDE would make you far more productive than a free or less expensive product, then it is probably worth the admission price. We use a proprietary Prolog interpreter (SICStus), but it comes with very good support and it has some advantages over open source interpreters that matter to us. Plus they provide continuing support/maintenance for their previous major version.
