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)

InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
I developed and sold Mac apps to university genetics/microbiology labs in the 1990's using previous versions of CCL. They were heavy on GUI and I had to revise my code 8 or 10 times over a period of 5 or 6 years, and finally gave up because I was spending all my time just trying to keep my code up to date. Nowadays, I would recommend using CLOG (via SBCL/Emacs/Slime). CLOG is the sort of thing I dreamed of, at the time, since it provides, among other things, a truely cross platform GUI for common-lisp. ref: https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog
re JS: I have pushed the moment I need it, by quite a lot, thanks to HTMX: https://htmx.org/ It's HTML on the wire. We can chain update events, we can, in one server response, ask HTMX to update 2 or more parts of the DOM. Without JS.
