Steel Bank Common Lisp: an open-source compiler and runtime implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

SBCL is an open-source implementation of ANSI Common Lisp (1994), the Common Lisp standard. It runs on Linux, FreeBSD and variants, MAC OS X, and recently on Windows (x64 support in progress). It features unicode support, native interface to C libraries (UFFI), threading (Windows support not official yet), and a native compiler.

How to customize the SBCL REPL?

Writing Common Lisp code that executes from the command line, but not inside the interpreter

When writing Common Lisp code, I use SLIME. In particular, I compile the buffer containing definitions of functions by using C-C C-k, and then switch to the REPL to run those functions. Putting executable code to run those functions in the buffer…

I'm trying to figure out how to use the output stream of one program I start with RUN-PROGRAM so it can be used as the input of another program started with RUN-PROGRAM (i.e., the moral and perhaps literal equivalent of piping). I've tried using a…
