# clisp
[ANSI Common Lisp](http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/) is
a high-level, general-purpose programming language.
[GNU CLISP](https://clisp.sourceforge.io/) is a Common Lisp implementation by
Bruno Haible of Karlsruhe University and Michael Stoll of Munich University,
both in Germany. It mostly supports the Lisp described in the ANSI Common
Lisp standard. It runs on most Unix workstations (GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
OpenBSD, Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX, BeOS, NeXTstep, IRIX, AIX and others) and on
other systems (Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98/ME) and needs only 4 MiB of
RAM.
It is Free Software and may be distributed under the terms of GNU GPL, while
it is possible to distribute commercial proprietary applications compiled with
GNU CLISP.
The user interface comes in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Russian
and Danish, and can be changed at run time. GNU CLISP includes an
interpreter, a compiler, a debugger, CLOS, MOP, a foreign language interface,
sockets, i18n, fast bignums and more. An X11 interface is available through
CLX, Garnet, CLUE/CLIO. GNU CLISP runs Maxima, ACL2 and many other Common
Lisp packages.
