The Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM) is a Common Lisp-based programming interface for creating user interfaces, i.e., graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It provides an application programming interface (API) to user interface facilities for the programming language Lisp.[1] It is a fully object-oriented programming user interface management system,[2] using the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) and is based on the mechanism of stream input and output.[3] There are also facilities for output device independence. It is descended from the GUI system Dynamic Windows[4] of Symbolics' Lisp machines between 1988 and 1993.

... you can check out Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM). A descendant of the Symbolics Lisp machines GUI framework, CLIM is powerful but complex. Although many commercial Common Lisp implementations actually support it, it doesn't seem to have seen a lot of use. But in the past couple years, an open-source implementation of CLIM, McCLIM – now hosted at Common-Lisp.net[5] – has been picking up steam lately, so we may be on the verge of a CLIM renaissance. – From Practical Common Lisp[6]

The main development was CLIM 2.0, released in 1993. It is free and open source software released under a GNU Library General Public License (LGPL).

CLIM has been designed to be portable across different Common Lisp implementations and different windowing systems. It uses a reflective architecture for its window system interface.[7] CLIM supports, like Dynamic Windows, so-called Presentations.[8][9][10]

CLIM is available for Allegro CL,[11] LispWorks,[12] Macintosh Common Lisp, and Symbolics Genera[13]

McCLIM Lisp Listener

A free software implementation of CLIM is named McCLIM.[14] It has several extensions to CLIM and has been used for several applications like Climacs, an Emacs-like editor. It also provides a mouse-sensitive Lisp Listener, a read–eval–print loop (REPL) for Common Lisp.[15]

Applications using CLIM

  • BB1 Blackboard Kernel (BBK)[16]
  • CLASP: analyzes data from experiments via graphics, statistical tests, and various data manipulation types[17]
  • CLIB, a prototype interface builder for CLIM[18]
  • Direct Labor Management System (DLMS), manages automobile manufacturing process system at Ford assembly plants[19]
  • DLMAPS, an ontology-based spatial query language and environment, a predecessor of GeoSPARQL[20]
  • GenEd, editor with generic semantics for formal reasoning on visual notations[21]
  • Grasper-CL, graph management system[22]
  • KONWERK, a domain independent configuration tool
  • Mirage, an editor for building gadget-oriented graphical user interfaces.
  • Pathway Tools, a comprehensive bioinformatics software package that spans genome data management, systems biology, and omics data analysis.[23]
  • Petri nets, a Petri net editor and simulator
  • SENEX, a CLOS/CLIM application for molecular pathology
  • SPIKE, scheduling system for the Hubble space telescope observations. Also used for ASTRO-D, an X-Ray observation astronomy mission
  • SpyGlass, an analysis environment for viewing packet traces, from BBN.
  • VITRA Workbench, an integrated vision and natural language processing system
  • VISCO, a visual spatial query language[24]
  • Climaxima, a Maxima (software) graphical front-end.
  • Tangram, a Tangram Puzzle Solver capable of solving arbitrary geometric tiling problems.
