- LispWorks is a proprietary Common Lisp implementation with an IDE and CAPI GUI toolkit, offering free limited version.
- Key features include multi-platform support, portable GUI toolkit, mobile runtime, optimized application delivery, and various interfaces.
- Free edition has limitations like heap size limits, 5-hour session time, inability to build binaries, and no initialization file loading.
- Paid editions: Hobbyist, HobbyistDV, Professional, and Enterprise, with prices starting at 750 USD.
- IDE provides graphical tools like stepper, tracer, class browser, and process browser, but editor lacks some advanced features.
- Keybindings are Emacs-like but differ; customizable via editor functions. Listener offers instant parsing and graphical debugger.
- Stepper allows breakpoints and step-through debugging with graphical interface. Class and function call browsers aid code inspection.
- Process Browser manages threads. Images save entire IDE state. Search Files and compilation conditions browser enhance development.
- Can use LispWorks from Emacs/Slime via Swank server or console image. Delivery function creates small binaries with tree-shaking.
- Delivery excludes compile-file and quickload; remote debugging possible. See IDE User Guide and additional resources for more.
