Top 15 ManKai Common Lisp Alternative and Similar Softwares | Dec 2024

ManKai Common Lisp (MKCL) aims to be a full implementation of the Common Lisp language in compliance with the ANSI X3J13 Common Lisp standard. It is free software distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) with a few minor exceptions (see the file Copyright in the source code).

MKCL finds its origin in the source code of the ECL project and, like ECL, it tries to bring to full maturity the lineage of the Kyoto Common Lisp (KCL) family but attempts to do it in a modern yet more contained and better controlled way.

1. Armed Bear Common Lisp

Armed Bear Common Lisp Armed Bear Common Lisp (ABCL) is a full implementation of the Common Lisp language featuring both an interpreter and a compiler, running in the JVM.
