qtools

I have been doing desktop applications using Qtools[0] which is relatively pleasant to work with. I have prepared a hello-world kind of Qtools project[1] that is automatically built and released into ZIP files using Travis CI. (I haven't looked at it for a while and it seems that the configuration for one of the OSes needs a bit of an update due to a change in the directory structure of SBCL releases there, but the rest works.) I don't have much experience with web applications in Lisp, but there's some substantial tooling there and I know of people who have done that before, both client- and server-wise. I have no experience whatsoever about Common Lisp on mobile. [0] https://github.com/Shinmera/qtools [1] https://github.com/phoe-trash/furcadia-post-splitter

smoke/kde was supposed to be contender for gobject-introspection, however it is barely maintained. It is only(?) used by common lisp[0]. And there was claro[1]. [0]https://github.com/Shinmera/qtools [1]https://github.com/Araq/Claro

There are several GUI libraries for CL. The best and most complete is Qtools (and CommonQt), which wrap Qt. IMO it makes Qt development easier in Lisp than it is in C++. Installation on Linux is super easy, just make sure the Qt libs and dev libraries are installed from your package manager, and then install with QuickLisp. On OSX it was tricky installing the Qt libs, but after that installing with QuickLisp just worked. I haven't tried on Windows, but supposedly it works for people. https://github.com/Shinmera/qtools I've also used ltk a few times, and it's okay, but it's wrapping Tk, so ... I think there are also interfaces for wxWidgets and Gtk, but I've always liked Qt, so I haven't looked very hard.

https://common-lisp.net/project/commonqt/ works well, https://github.com/Shinmera/qtools is an attempt to make it work better. Also https://github.com/robert-strandh/McCLIM looks maintained but if it's anything like what it was a couple of years when I last looked at it, it could use some contributors :) There are also at least 3 GTK+ bindings that I've seen around. http://cliki.net/GUI lists 31 GUI libraries. We have enough for every day of the month :)
