Steel Bank Common Lisp

i have been re-acquainting myself with lisp (my first commercial, post-grad experience was with LOOPS/Interlisp-D) after nearly 20 years wading around in the C++/Java mire. sbcl is an excellent implementation of cl and a pleasure to use. it has helped me realise that cl truely is the way to go!

SBCL is rock-solid, fast, and easy to use. It's compatable with everything I throw at it, and best of all can be kicked into the right shape for deployment. It has some advanced options that not everyone will always need, but are such a boon when you do. I had an entire project that wouldn't have gotten off the ground if it weren't for their "merge core pages" optimizations. Good work guys!

A very robust, complete and feature-rich CL implementation with a very good choice of license.

SBCL is an exhaustive, robust and efficient implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. Arguably it's the best open source CL implementation around (at least in the *nix space - a Windows port is on its way though). It can produce stand-alone executables and works great in interacive session using the SLIME extension to Emacs.

As good as any huge CL system, no better.
