cl-objc VS ecl-iphone-builder

Compare cl-objc vs ecl-iphone-builder and see what are their differences.

cl-objc

CL-OBJC is a portable common-lisp/objective-c bridge written using CFFI. The aim is to be able to build Cocoa applications on Mac OS X by using InterfaceBuilder to design the GUI and then implement the code in common-lisp. (My attempt to revive this project) (by theangelperalta)

ecl-iphone-builder

  • *UPDATE* - CL-OBJC
    3 projects | /r/Common_Lisp | 6 Mar 2023
    I'm just posting the work that I have done over the last year or so on CL-Objc. I'm still blocked from better support (e.g., passing structs by value for frameworks like UIKit). I just wanted to post what I have done online for others interested in the work or motivated to collaborate on this.
  • Waiting on feedback - CFFI PR
    2 projects | /r/Common_Lisp | 2 Mar 2023
    Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I have been waiting on some feedback for PR in CFFI. This feature is blocking me from reviving CL-OBJC. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
  • Experiences with CCL development on OS X

  • Using Lisp libraries from other programming languages - now with sbcl
    1 project | /r/Common_Lisp | 18 Apr 2022
    Thank you for sharing, this will useful with some improvements that are needed for cl-objc (Foreign Interface Library for Objective-C).
  • SBCL Compiler Bug?
    1 project | /r/Common_Lisp | 2 Feb 2022
    I've been working on reviving cl-objc, and in doing some cleanup on one of the example projects I noticed sbcl (2.1.9) compiler is emitting a STYLE-WARNING for unused variables. However, after reviewing the resulting call and code everything seems to be in working order. Am I missing something here? Thank you in advance for any help. This is really bugging me, quite literally haha.

  • Porting CCL's ObjC bridge to SBCL?
    4 projects | /r/lisp | 31 Jan 2022
    Since CCL's ObjC bridge and Cocoa interface have been the implementation's major draw for me I have given some thought about what it would take to make add equivalent functionality to another implementation that already has an M1 port. The easiest candidate is ECL, as it can inline ObjC calls just as easily as plain C. But for various reasons SBCL would be preferable given its performance and widespread use. However, return-value alien structs are essential to implement CCL's Cocoa interface and this is one of the few features SBCL lacks.

What are some alternatives?
