The '''Common Lisp Interface Manager''' ('''CLIM''') is a [[Common Lisp]]-based programming interface for creating [[user interface]]s, i.e., [[graphical user interface]]s (GUIs). It provides an [[application programming interface]] (API) to user interface facilities for the programming language [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://bauhh.dyndns.org:8000/clim-spec/1.html#_2 |title=CLIM 2 Specification: Part I: Overview and Conventions |website=Gilbert Baumann |date=<!--Undated--> |access-date=2019-08-25}}</ref> It is a fully [[object-oriented programming]] [[Useruser interface management systems|User Interface Management Systemsystem]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.54.6663&rep=rep1&type=pdf |title=User Interface Management Systems: The CLIM Perspective |last=Möller |first=Ralf}}</ref> using the [[Common Lisp Object System]] (CLOS) and is based on the mechanism of [[Standard streams|stream]] [[Input/output|input and output]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://clemens.endorphin.org/a-guided-tour-of-CLIM-2006.pdf |title=A Guided Tour of CLIM, Common Lisp Interface Manager}}</ref> There are also facilities for output device independence.

{{Quote |text=... you can check out Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM). A descendant of the [[Symbolics]] [[Lisp machine]]s 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<ref>{{cite web |url=http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/ |title=Common-Lisp.net}}</ref> – has been picking up steam lately, so we may be on the verge of a CLIM renaissance. – ''From [[Practical Common Lisp]]''<ref>{{cite book |last=Seibel |first=Peter |url=http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/conclusion-whats-next.html |chapter=Conclusion: What's Next? |title=Practical Common Lisp}}</ref>}}
