Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. 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. 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. RMCL is based on MCL 5.1 and does run
under Rosetta on Intel-based Macs. MCL 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.
