Many people who actually write GUI software in Lisp use one of the commercial offerings, typically either LispWorks and Allegro CL. That's one of their advantages: they offer maintained and cross platform GUI libraries.
One can for example also use Clozure CL for advanced GUI stuff, but that is best on the Mac.
For example http://opusmodus.com http://opusmodus.com is a composition software using Clozure CL.
Other composition environments are written with LispWorks: PWGL, OpenMusic, Symbolic Composer, ScoreCloud.

- bainsfather 12y agoThanks for the info. I just had a quick look at Clozure CL - as you say, the main Gui library is for apple. The other gui library is labelled 'under development' but also 'last modified: 6 years ago' :( I wonder whether the (I'm told) good commercial lisp offerings have hampered lisp adoption, in that people who use lisp a lot, pay for commercial offerings, leaving the free stuff less used and maintained? Then newcomers, who don't want to pay to do hobby projects in a new language, are discouraged by the less maintained free stuff.
