Open Source Common Lisp Compilers

Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL) is a high-performance Common Lisp compiler. It is open-source/free software, with a permissive license. In addition to the compiler and runtime system for ANSI Common Lisp, it provides an interactive environment including a debugger, a statistical profiler, a code coverage tool, and many other extensions. SBCL runs on Linux, various BSDs, macOS, Solaris, and Windows. See the download page for supported platforms, and the getting started guide for additional help. SBCL is available in source and binary form for a number of different architectures. SBCL is available in binary form for many architectures. To obtain the latest binary release for your system, visit the platform support page and click on the green square which indicates your platform. You can install SBCL to a different directory prefix by setting the INSTALL_ROOT environment variable before running the installation script.

A Cobol compiler, implemented as a new front end to the GCC compiler.

Acheron is a Common Lisp (CL) to JavaScript (JS) compiler. Programs are written in a subset of CL and after compilation executed in a webbrowser. Acheron has native functions that are written in JS and are the bridge between CL and JS.

Compiler of Lisp programs to a platform-idependent bytecode and the corresponding virtual machine.

CLearJ is a clean Java-implementation of Common Lisp. The big goals are ANSI standard compliance, interoperability with Java and integration with scripting environments. This project is meant to be a sibling to CLearSharp, with sharing of implementation.

CLearSharp is a clean C#-implementation of Common Lisp. The big goals are ANSI standard compliance, interoperability with Java and integration with scripting environments. This project is meant to be a sibling to CLearJ, with sharing of implementation.

COOK is a software build-automation tool made with a goal of letting you, the programmer, to utilize the most elegant and powerful programming language - Common Lisp - for managing your software builds. You write a recipe file which describes what objectives must be constructed. COOK will load and process this file, then produce either a regular Makefile or a Bourne Shell script, which will actually perform the task of building and installing your targets.

A Preprocessor that uses the combination of Common Lisp and Qi as an advanced preprocessor. This will make possible for quick prototyping of new languish features such as constructing a typed macros and advanced debugging facilities.

‘intelliworm’ is a prototype simulation of a Intelligent Species of a common earth worm,which inherits human like decision making capabilities through Neural Network intelligence representation,all developed by integrating .NET with Lisp and Yacc.

Trying to implement a lispy scripting language on top of Java in a minimalistic way: as small as possible but with a solid language design thats borrowed from common lisp.

LispSharp is a fully compiled lisp implementation for the .NET Framework. It uses a Lisp dialect similar to ISO Lisp, it has a Command-line toplevel compiler with Read Compile Print Loop.It references any .NET DLL and produces standard .NET assembly.

This project is dedicated to developing more readable format(s) for Lisp-based languages (such as Common Lisp and Scheme) and implementing those formats (readers, pretty-printers, editor macros, etc.). MIT license preferred, to spread them widely.

Redtail is a scripting engine library and script language. The Redtail library provides the ability to execute Scheme-like Redtail scripts from within an application, increasing flexibility.

A portable and retargetable lexer/parser generator.

sexpreader is a library which can be used by compiler or interpreter writers who want to read LISP-like constructs. This library can read in various tokens like integers, floats, symbols, strings, characters, booleans and parenthesis.
