Common Lisp CLISP
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Common Lisp is
|
||
|
|
* a convential programming language and an AI language
|
||
|
|
* interactive
|
||
|
|
* a Lisp for professional use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Common Lisp programs are
|
||
|
|
* easy to test (interactive)
|
||
|
|
* easy to maintain (depending on programming style)
|
||
|
|
* portable (there is a standard for the language and the library functions)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our Common Lisp CLISP
|
||
|
|
* needs only 2 MB of memory
|
||
|
|
* implements 99% of the CLtL1 standard, as well as some extensions
|
||
|
|
* can call your preferred editor
|
||
|
|
* is freely distributable
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Common Lisp provides
|
||
|
|
* clear syntax, carefully designed semantics
|
||
|
|
* several data types: numbers, strings, arrays, lists, characters, symbols,
|
||
|
|
structures, streams etc.
|
||
|
|
* runtime typing: the programmer needn't bother about type declarations,
|
||
|
|
but he gets notified on type violations.
|
||
|
|
* many generic functions:
|
||
|
|
88 arithmetic functions for all kinds of numbers (integers, ratios,
|
||
|
|
floating point numbers, complex numbers),
|
||
|
|
44 search/filter/sort functions for lists, arrays and strings
|
||
|
|
* automatic memory management (garbage collection)
|
||
|
|
* packaging of programs into modules
|
||
|
|
* an object system, generic functions with powerful method combination
|
||
|
|
* macros: every programmer can make his own language extensions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our Common Lisp CLISP provides
|
||
|
|
* an interpreter
|
||
|
|
* a compiler which makes execution of programs 5 times faster
|
||
|
|
* all data types with unlimited size (the size need never be declared,
|
||
|
|
the size of lists and arrays may be changed dynamically)
|
||
|
|
* integers of arbitrary length, unlimited floating point number precision
|
||
|
|
* 594 library functions, 542 of them written in C
