This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/lisp

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • tauri

    Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.

  • I will just use technology I am familiar with. Tauri + CodeMirror + CM's Common Lisp mode should hopefully get me a long way.

  • commands

    Collection of editing commands for the CodeMirror code editor

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • commonlisp-vscode

    Common Lisp Editing extension for Visual Studio Code

  • portacle

    A portable common lisp development environment

  • Have a look at Portacle, which is meant to be more or less what you're looking for: an out-of-the-box functional CL IDE.

  • alive

    Common Lisp Extension for VSCode

  • I also read up on alternatives, and also tried out the alive VSCode extension. Unfortunately, I could not get it to work on my machine.

  • swank-client

    Minimal Command Line Client for Swank (by astine)

  • This may be helpful for your implementation: https://github.com/astine/swank-client/blob/master/swank-description.markdown

  • cl-repl

    A full-featured repl implementation designed to work with Roswell

  • If you are doing it for learning, that's fine! But otherwise you could check out and contribute to Alive for VSCode. There's also cl-repl which I think can be distributed in the form of binary images.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
