    you could try with IUP https://github.com/lispnik/iup Supposedly cross-platform. Uses Webkit.

  • What is the most pleasant way to write a portable GUI in CL?
    4 projects | /r/lisp | 12 Feb 2021
    I think the IUP bindings are really worth a try: https://github.com/lispnik/iup/ Overview of it (and others): https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/gui.html I quickly tried it and it worked as expected. The only difficulty is to learn the framework: how to assemble the GUI parts (where to put the scrollbar?) and this sort of things. Given the author it should be pretty much dynamic (as much as Ltk) but might not be there yet. It will, given more users and demand.

  • Legal question on using the HyperSpec
    3 projects | /r/lisp | 3 Dec 2022
    for my editor project, I would like to embed some form of documentation for quick look-ups and the like. I think the HyperSpec would be best-suited, as it seems the most complete and is often recommended. Furthermore, they offer an offline copy for download, which is essentially a collection of HTML + CSS files. So it would be pretty straight forward to include a copy of the spec and e.g. embed it in an iframe.

    It's nice to see the CL ecosystem evolving. SBCL sees regular updates with new optimizations. The editor support is getting better: [Vim, Atom, Sublime, VSCode… have good to very good support](https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht...), & Jupyter notebook, the Lem editor… and a new lisper started a CL editor based on Tauri: [Parrot](https://github.com/fonol/parrot). Cool projects emerge ([lisp-stats](https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/lisp-stat/), the [Sento / cl-gserver](https://github.com/mdbergmann/cl-gserver) actors library, the Kons-9 3D graphics library, the CLOG web-gui…)

    > 50MB

    With compression (zstd now), SBCL binaries weigh ±25MB. Start-up time is super fast. I built a standalone binary for my web app, it is straightforward to start it on the background and access it from an Electron window.
