Creating apps on MacOS for free?
Hi, lots of knowledge here, thanks. Do you know how to put this Cocoa Interface https://github.com/plkrueger/CocoaInterface/ in the perspective?

Porting CCL's ObjC bridge to SBCL?
I've done some work trying to modernize CCL's interface to Cocoa and other MacOS APIs, but had put that effort on hold waiting for the Arm64 CCL port. But it seems that the M1 port of CCL is now in doubt. My impression is that there's almost no one left who understands the implementation well enough to bootstrap it for a new architecture.

Creating apps on MacOS for free?
The only one of these problems I have some kind of solution for is that of building newer interfaces: over the last couple of years I've been tinkering off-and-on to extend the experimental command line tool that generates CCL's FFI interfaces so that it can read recent macOS framework headers. The code is not pretty but it works well enough to build working interfaces to newer frameworks like SceneKit. I've managed to use the resulting interfaces to write a few neat demos using CCL, such as an interactive cel-shaded version of the Utah teapot. But I don't believe the demos are portable: although I haven't checked, I suspect they will run on macOS 10.14 with CCL 1.12 only.
