    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:

  • Show HN: Sixel-tmux displays graphics even if your terminal has no Sixel support

    I tinkered a bit with sixel support for my "C64 emulator in the terminal" (https://github.com/floooh/docker-c64), but unfortunately it's way too slow to get anywhere near 'realtime' output (30fps or better).

    Here's the (abandondend) sixel-version source code, only with two colors, more color planes would drastically reduce the performance.

    I really wish there was a decent pixel-framebuffer standard for terminals (with at least the same performance as curses). This would allow a lot of fun "terminal applications" (e.g. everything that used to run in VGA Mode 13h).

What are some alternatives?
