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.
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.
Steel Bank Common Lisp is a development environment for Common Lisp, with excellent support for the ANSI standard: garbage collection, lexical closures, powerful macros, strong dynamic typing, incremental compilation, and the famous Common Lisp Object System (multimethods and all). It also includes many extensions, such as native threads, socket support, a statistical profiler, programmable streams, and more. These are all available through an integrated, interactive native compiler which feels like an interpreter. SBCL is unique in being a multiplatform native compiler which bootstraps itself completely from source, using a C compiler and any other ANSI Common Lisp implementation.
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.
Librep is a shared library implementing a Lisp dialect that is lightweight, reasonably fast, and highly extensible. It contains an interpreter, byte-code compiler, and virtual machine. Applications may use the interpreter as an extension language, or it may be used for standalone scripts. Rep was originally inspired by Emacs Lisp. However one of the main deficiencies of elisp--the reliance on dynamic scope--has been removed. Also, rep only has a single namespace for symbols.
