Here is the original Eclipse release announcement from almost 19 years ago: <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/eclipse$20common$20lisp/comp.lang.lisp/HPTArQ8GFpY/lDoNX2z0QTEJ" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/eclipse$20common$20...</a>
I'd like to hear the story how it turned up on github. This is a pretty good lisp from 1998 which compiles to C.<p>I know Elwood from my former background in the automotive industry, and I read they also created and produced a successful micro computer, the Mini Micro III.
Pretty cool seeing yet another CL implementation popping up from the past. In my opinion its absolutely essential for a programming language to have as many implementations as possible. Its really the only way to truly put the language standard to test.
I see Clojure described as a Lisp.<p>What advantage would I gain learning Commons Lisp over Clojure? Clojure seems to be fairly well respected, has tooling and libraries available. I have no real idea about the situation for Common Lisp
