Common Lisp Interface Manager

The Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM) is a Common Lisp-based programming interface for creating user interfaces — i.e., GUIs. It is completely object-oriented and is based on the idea of stream input and output.[1] There are also facilities for output device independence. It is descended from the GUI system Dynamic Windows of Symbolics's Lisp machines[2]

CLIM has been designed to be portable across different Common Lisp implementations and different window systems. CLIM supports, like Dynamic Windows, so-called Presentations.[3][4]

CLIM is available for Allegro CL[5], LispWorks[6], Macintosh Common Lisp, and Symbolics Genera[7]

McCLIM Lisp Listener

A free implementation of CLIM is called McCLIM[8] . McCLIM has several extensions to CLIM and has been used for several applications like Climacs, an Emacs-like editor. McCLIM also provides a mouse-sensitive Lisp Listener, a REPL for Common Lisp.

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 --has been picking up steam lately, so we may be on the verge of a CLIM renaissance."[1] from "Conclusion: What's Next?" in Practical Common Lisp, by Peter Seibel.
