[slime-devel] ANNC: MCLIDE 1.0b Lisp IDE

[Terje Norderhaug]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MCLIDE is a free open source Macintosh IDE for Lisp implementations  
on any platform. It's a double-clickable, stand-alone development  
environment that just like SLIME connects to a Lisp running a Swank  
server.

The first public beta of MCLIDE 1.0 is now available from:

     http://mclide.in-progress.com

This version of MCLIDE is verified to work with Clozure CL (a.k.a.  
OpenMCL) and Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL) as target lisp  
implementations. It can potentially be used with the same Lisp  
implementations as SLIME.

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.

MCLIDE provides a consistent developer experience regardless of the  
Lisp. It can be used on the same computer as a Lisp system, or target  
one or more Lisp implementations on other computers or operating  
systems.

Special thanks to Peter Paine for substantial feedback and  
suggestions. Glen Foy has provided a lisp syntax styling utility as  
an optional plug-in. MCLIDE has also benefitted from contributions by  
Shannon Spires and Madhu, among others.
