Description : Clozure Common Lisp (formerly OpenMCL)
Ccl is a high-quality, native code implementation of Common Lisp,
derived from the non-GUI core of MCL. It has the following advantages
over the high-quality native-code Lisps already included in Debian, such
as CMUCL and SBCL:
- faster compiler;
- comprehensible source code and easy bootstrap;
- faster CLOS implementation;
- smaller image.
Its limitations are as follows:
- only works on PPC(64/32), AMD64 and x86 (SSE2 required);
- slightly slower on non-CLOS code.
I've been using CCL exclusively for a year now, and I'm very happy with
it. CCL includes ASDF, works fine with Slime, and should be trivial to
integrate within the Debian Common Lisp framework.
