Hello,
I'm a Lisp newbie, mostly tinkering with CMUCL on my Debian Linux boxen. I
would like to do some simple stuff with a GUI, but do not have a specific
tool in mind. Since I'm pretty much equally ignorant about all of them,
which would be a good first? I've found a few, but some of the docs seem to
indicate stuff that hasn't been touched in years; is it just that stable, or
abandoned?
Since it's just for my own interest, simplicity would be good to get up to
speed sooner, and performance isn't really an issue; we're not talking about
some CL-Quake or anything. Just some graphic doodling, so a couple buttons
and a drawing area should pretty much do it.
So far, there are:
CLX, CLUE, CLIO, CLM (Motif), a couple GTK+ versions, lisp-TK, Garnet
I haven't done any low-level X outside of Lisp, so I don't think I want to
confuse learning both together. Anyway, suggestions of what people are using
recently are appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

You should add CLIM to your list. Our free version of CLIM (called
McCLIM) is sufficient for "a couple buttons and a drawing area" at
this time. You can get it at:

Check the SLIK page in the "Graphics Toolkit" section of CLiki:

OK, thanks.

C makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes that
harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.
