10 CMUCL is a free implementation of the Common Lisp programming language
11 which runs on most major Unix platforms. It mainly conforms to the
12 ANSI Common Lisp standard. Here is a summary of its main features:
14 * a sophisticated native-code compiler which is capable of powerful
15 type inferences, and generates code competitive in speed with C
18 * generational garbage collection and multiprocessing capability on
21 * a foreign function interface which allows interfacing with C code
22 and system libraries, including shared libraries on most platforms,
23 and direct access to Unix system calls.
25 * support for interprocess communication and remote procedure calls.
27 * an implementation of CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System, which
28 includes multimethods and a metaobject protocol.
30 * a graphical source-level debugger using a Motif interface, and a
