Golden Common-LISP

Golden Common-LISP (GCLISP) is an interpreted implementation of Common Lisp.

History

Originally introduced in 1984 for DOS machines, early versions were quite far from implementing the full standard and were dynamically scoped rather than lexically.

With release 3 in 1988 the system had achieved a more or less full CL compatibility. The system is still being sold in a budget version for DOS called "Golden Common-Lisp SE", that is intended for educational use.
