I need in IDE for Common Lisp, but at home I use linux and emacs + slime for lisp programming, but in my university I must use MS Windows, Emacs under Windows ... pull configuration file and the other I just do not do suits. Please advise a comfortable IDE for Common lisp that would have been a version for Windows and Linux and setup and installation would not cause difficulties. Thank you.

(I mean aside from the usual problems of having EMACS at all. ) – JUST MY correct OPINION Mar 22 '10 at 14:15 @ttmrichter, about one year age I tried to use GNU/EMACS under MS Windows and there were frequent errors and I have it frequently fell – shk Mar 22 '10 at 14:31 Last time I used emacs heavily on Windows I used Xemacs (this was some time ago), and it worked well for me. I didn't use it for any Common Lisp programming, preferring to do that on MCL (I had an old Mac running MacOS 9 for a long time), so I don't know how well that would have worked.

I use Emacs+SLIME on Windows (XP) quite happily. I just followed these instructions. Failing that, try Lispbox.

There are a bunch of commercial Common Lisp IDEs for Windows. Corman Common Lisp is only available for Windows and I'm not sure how active the development is nowadays. It is not very expensive.

Then there are Allegro Common Lisp and LispWorks. Both are available on a number of platforms and both their IDEs are available for Windows and Linux. Both have 'no cost' versions with some limitations: Allegro CL Express Edition and LispWorks Personal Edition.

Then there is Ufasoft Common Lisp, which provides an IDE on Windows for CLisp. Most other free Common Lisp implementations use Emacs + SLIME, on Windows.

There's Cusp which is a Common Lisp plugin for Eclipse. It uses SBCL and the SWANK backend. I've tried it and whilst it was fine I prefer Emacs and SLIME.

When I have to use them on Windows I've cobbled together a version of Emacs, SLIME and SBCL that I can run from a USB pen drive. It also uses the Happycoders . Emacs files as I like their configuration.

1 to both "Cusp" and "prefer Emacs + SLIME" :) – Frank Shearar Mar 23 '10 at 7:11.

I like using DrScheme. You can get it from the PLT scheme website here.

If you click on Language -> Choose Language (from the top menu), you can find in all the built in languages. If you click on Language -> Add teachpack, you can import other languages.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
