STMX is a high-performance Common Lisp library for composable Software Transactional Memory (STM), a concurrency control mechanism aimed at making concurrent programming easier to write and understand. Instead of traditional lock-based programming, one programs with atomic memory transactions: if a memory transaction returns normally it is committed. If it signals an error, it is rolled back. Transactions can safely run in parallel in different threads, are re-executed from the beginning in case of conflicts or if consistent reads cannot be guaranteed, and effects of a transaction are not visible from other threads until committed. This gives freedom from deadlocks, automatic rollback on failure, and aims to resolve the tension between granularity and concurrency.
LIME is a dynamic programming language with a LISP-like syntax. It features partial function application, eager and lazy evaluation, call-by-value and call-by-reference, macros, reading/writing LIME code as data, a standard library including infinite streams, and an interactive mode with auto-indentation.
Launcher for Mac OS X is a fast and light utility that speeds up the way you work on your Mac. It features an application launcher that can use application names, abbreviations, and short commands to launch any app. It can also quickly and easily perform Web Searches with Google, Yahoo, Bing, eBay, Youtube, Wikipedia, and other search engines. It can simplify the execution of commands like activating the screen saver, muting the sound, and shutting down the computer. It includes a calculator and dictionary to perform simple and complex calculations and look up brief word definitions. It can make it easier to open frequently used files and Web sites, and can execute shell commands without Terminal app.
Shortcuts is a tool to make your own keyboard shortcuts for frequently used items and actions. It can set shortcuts for the most popular applications like iCal, iTunes, and Mail. It can set shortcuts for actions that control the system, volume, screen, and playback of music and video. Shortcuts can be used to open frequently used files and documents, scripts that you run regularly, and your favorite Web sites.
SLIME is an integrated development environment for Common LISP which does everything you would expect from an IDE: code evaluation, compilation, macro expansion, and auto-completion. It also finds definitions of functions, and marks LISP forms which the compiler finds to be erroneous. It provides easy access to implementation-specific online documentation as well as the ability to look up symbols in the ANSI Common Lisp HyperSpec. Further, it includes an interactive debugger and object inspector.
Nyquist is an elegant and powerful language for sound synthesis and music composition. Unlike score languages that tend to deal only with events, or signal processing languages that tend to deal only with signals and synthesis, it handles both in a single integrated system. It is also flexible and easy to use because it is based on an interactive Lisp interpreter. You can design instruments by combining functions (much as you would using the orchestra languages of Music V, cmusic, or Csound). You can call upon these instruments and generate a sound just by typing a simple expression. You can combine simple expressions into complex ones to create a whole composition. It runs under any Unix environment, MacOS, Windows 95, and Windows NT, and it produces sound files as output (or direct audio output under Windows).
RScheme is an object-oriented, extended Scheme implementation with a compiler that targets C or (RScheme's own) bytecodes. It has features expected from a modern language: an object system, reflection, modules, namespaces, safe macros, threads, a system call interface (including sockets), separate compilation, and persistence, as well as the formal basis and power of the Scheme programming language. RScheme also features a powerful, elegant foreign code interface.
