MCLIDE is a free open source Macintosh IDE for Lisp implementations on any platform. It is a double-clickable, stand-alone GUI based lisp development environment that connects to a Lisp either locally or through the network.
Lisp Development Environment
MCLIDEs user interface is based on the mature IDE of Macintosh Common Lisp. It provides rich interactive development and debugging tools in the form of dialogs interacting with the target Lisp (screen shots). The built-in programming editor has paren matching, automatic indentation and numerous shortcuts. It comes with plug-ins providing optional lisp syntax styling and symbol completion.
MCLIDE provides a consistent developer experience regardless of the Lisp. Use it on the same computer as your Lisp system, or target one or more Lisp implementations on other computers or operating systems.
Building a Better Lisp IDE
MCLIDE is a leap forward for lisp development environments, but where do we go from here? What about combining the best GUI ideas into a state of the art remote IDE? Providing a smorgasbord of Lisp development components that you can use to put together a custom environment optimized for your workflow? With support for collaborative programming and code revision control? Subcribe to the mclide-talk mailing list to join in on the conversation.
