(January 2009) </td> </tr> </table> Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL) is an implementation and IDE for the Common Lisp programming language. Various versions of MCL run under Mac OS (m68k and PPC) and Mac OS X (PPC only). Versions of MCL up to and including 5.1 are proprietary. Version 5.2 has been open sourced. In 2009 a new different version of MCL has been open sourced: RMCL.[1] RMCL is based on MCL 5.1 and does run under Rosetta on Intel-based Macs.
[edit] Features of MCLMCL was famous for its integration with the Macintosh toolbox (later: Apple Carbon), which allowed direct access to most of the Mac OS functionality directly from Lisp. This was achieved with a low-level interface that allowed direct manipulation of native Mac OS data structures from Lisp, together with a high-level interface that was more convenient to use. In a 2001 article in Dr. Dobbs Journal, Peter Norvig wrote that "MCL is my favorite IDE on the Macintosh platform for any language and is a serious rival to those on other platforms".[2] [edit] History of MCLDevelopment on MCL began in 1984. Over its history, MCL has been known under different names: Running on 68k-based Apple Macintosh Computers:
Running on PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh Computers:
It has also spawned at least one separately maintained fork:
