Full description
Steel Bank Common Lisp is an open source Common
Lisp implementation. It provides an integrated native compiler,
interpreter, and debugger. SBCL is a fork off of the main branch
of CMUCL. SBCL is distinguished from CMUCL by a greater emphasis
on maintainability. In particular, the SBCL system can be built
directly from its source code, so that the output corresponds to
the source code in a controlled, verifiable way, and arbitrary
changes can be made to the system without causing bootstrapping
problems. SBCL also places less emphasis than CMU CL does on new
non-ANSI extensions, or on backward compatibility with old
non-ANSI features. Support for native threading on GNU/Linux is
available for the x86 and amd64 platforms using an NPTL enabled
GLIBC. SBCL 0.8.17 and later support Unicode.
