CLOG
A Common Lisp framework for building cross-platform GUI and web applications using web technologies and websockets.
What is CLOG?
CLOG is a Common Lisp framework for building cross-platform graphical user interfaces and web applications using web technologies. It allows developers to create desktop, mobile, and web applications entirely in Common Lisp by leveraging browsers as rendering engines connected via WebSockets. The framework handles both local and remote application deployment, replacing the need for traditional GUI toolkits or separate frontend/backend stacks.
Common Lisp developers seeking to build cross-platform GUI applications, interactive web apps, or business software without leaving the Lisp ecosystem. It's also suitable for educators teaching parallel programming and those interested in single-language full-stack development.
Developers choose CLOG for its ability to unify GUI, web, and mobile development under a single, stable Common Lisp API, eliminating context switching between languages. Its production-proven core, integrated visual IDE (CLOG Builder), and real-time capabilities offer a unique all-in-one solution for Lisp-centric application development.
