Dylan?

[Christopher R. Barry]

I prefer Allegro CL over CMUCL on Linux and it is what I mainly use.
Believe me: CLIM definately doesn't come with it. There is no academic
or trial licensing for Allegro CLIM. You pay several grand and you get
what you pay for. It's distributed as source, which is really nice.
