- fuzztester 3y agoOkay. I think both you and I may have made a mistake about the product names. (I just corrected mine, which was in this same comment. Corrected info below.) I had tried out Allegro Common Lisp (which is from Franz, Inc.) and LispWorks Common Lisp, some years ago. Maybe sometime after Peter Seibel's book Practical Common Lisp came out. I had also tried out GNU Lisp at some point.
- jonathankoren 3y agoYeah. There are two. I definitely used Allegro, which apparently is from Franz. I remember that the other commercial one was very expensive. It’s been like 20 years ago. :)
- _19qg 3y agoThere are two companies: Franz Inc. and LispWorks Ltd. The Lisp development product of Franz Inc. is Allegro CL. https://franz.com/products/allegro-common-lisp/ https://franz.com/products/allegro-common-lisp/ The Lisp development product of LispWorks Ltd. is LispWorks. https://www.lispworks.com/products/lispworks.html https://www.lispworks.com/products/lispworks.html Both are kind of expensive. Both offer also academic licenses. "Franz Lisp" does not exist as a product since the 80s. Both Allegro CL and LispWorks are sold since the mid/end 80s and are still being maintained and sold.
