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.cite-ref-1[1] It is a fully object-oriented programming user interface management system,cite-ref-2[2] using the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) and is based on the mechanism of stream input and output.cite-ref-3[3] There are also facilities for output device independence. It is descended from the GUI system Dynamic Windowscite-ref-4[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.netcite-ref-5[5] – has been picking up steam lately, so we may be on the verge of a CLIM renaissance. – From Practical Common Lispcite-ref-6[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.cite-ref-7[7] CLIM supports, like Dynamic Windows, so-called Presentations.cite-ref-8[8]cite-ref-9[9]cite-ref-10[10]

CLIM is available for Allegro CL,cite-ref-11[11] LispWorks,cite-ref-12[12] Macintosh Common Lisp, and Symbolics Generacite-ref-13[13]

A free software implementation of CLIM is named McCLIM.cite-ref-14[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.cite-ref-15[15]
