Common Lisp CLISP
Common Lisp is
* a convential programming language and an AI language
* interactive
* a Lisp for professional use
Common Lisp programs are
* easy to test (interactive)
* easy to maintain (depending on programming style)
* portable (there is a standard for the language and the library functions)
Our Common Lisp CLISP
* needs only 2 MB of memory
* implements 99% of the CLtL1 standard, as well as some extensions
* can call your preferred editor
* is freely distributable
Common Lisp provides
* clear syntax, carefully designed semantics
* several data types: numbers, strings, arrays, lists, characters, symbols,
structures, streams etc.
* runtime typing: the programmer needn't bother about type declarations,
but he gets notified on type violations.
* many generic functions:
88 arithmetic functions for all kinds of numbers (integers, ratios,
floating point numbers, complex numbers),
44 search/filter/sort functions for lists, arrays and strings
* automatic memory management (garbage collection)
* packaging of programs into modules
* an object system, generic functions with powerful method combination
* macros: every programmer can make his own language extensions
Our Common Lisp CLISP provides
* an interpreter
* a compiler which makes execution of programs 5 times faster
* all data types with unlimited size (the size need never be declared,
the size of lists and arrays may be changed dynamically)
* integers of arbitrary length, unlimited floating point number precision
* 594 library functions, 542 of them written in C
