MCL VS CMake

The descendant of CCL runs on modern Intel Macs. (It also runs on Linux and Windows but without the IDE.) The modern IDE is quite a bit different from the original. In particular, it no longer has the interface builder. But it's still pretty good. It is now called Clozure Common Lisp (so the acronym is still CCL) and you can find it here:

https://ccl.clozure.com/

If you want to run the original that is a bit of a challenge, but still possible. The original was never ported directly to OS X so you have to run it either on old hardware or an emulator running some version of the original MacOS, or on an older Mac running Rosetta 1. In the latter case you will want to look for something called RMCL. Also be aware that Coral Common Lisp was renamed Macintosh Common Lisp (i.e. MCL) before it became Clozure Common Lisp (CCL again).

This looks like it might be a promising place to start:

Another IDE: CLion CLion is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) developed by JetBrains specifically for C and C++ programming languages. It provides a wide range of features tailored to the needs of C and C++ developers, offering a productive and efficient environment for writing, debugging, and maintaining code. Here's an overview of CLion:

Not mentioned in the article is JetBrains CLion. Best C/C++ IDE to come along in decades.

Indeed, we took the idea from Sysprogs and their corresponding CMake fork. And published our fork here: https://github.com/JetBrains/CMake/tree/sysprog-rebased2. And we were considering the upstream.
