Robert Goldman, Paul Krueger, and Patrick Stein gave short presentations on different approaches to Graphical User Interfaces with Common Lisp.
- Lisp GUIs or “Bloodied but Unbowed” by Robert Goldman
- CCL/Cocoa Interface by Paul Krueger
- GUIs with CL-OpenGL by Patrick Stein
About Cells: while Cello failed to materialize, there are Cells based GUI bindings, to Tk and GTK+. I actually rather like the approach, even if I did not try to build anything very complex, which is why I try to maintain the latter.
No download link for a 1hour+ video? Really?
You can download it from Vimeo at the bottom right of the page: here’s the link.
Thanks for the links, I enjoyed them.
For a more retro programming experience, CL and Tcl/Tk are actually a rather good fit. Deploying can be a bit of a pain, and Tcl definitely takes some getting used to, but recent Tcl/Tk versions don’t look like poop anymore, and, apart from the ridiculously verbose imperative style, I found working with Tk widgets quite pleasant compared to frameworks written in more static languages.
See http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/cl-tk/ for the glue code I used.
