Allegro Common Lispis aprogramming languagewith anintegrated development environment(IDE), developed by Franz Inc. It is adialectof the languageLisp,acommercial softwareimplementation of the languageCommon Lisp.Allegro CL provides the fullAmerican National Standards Institute(ANSI) Common Lisp standard with many extensions, including threads, CLOS streams, CLOS MOP, Unicode, SSL streams, implementations of various Internet protocols, OpenGL interface.^[1]^[2]The first version of Allegro Common Lisp was finished at the end of 1986,^[3]originally calledExtended Common Lisp.^[4]Allegro CL is available for manyoperating systemsincludingMicrosoft Windows(32/64-bit), and manyUnixandUnix-like,32-bitor64-bit,includingmacOS(Intel, 32/64-bit),Linux(32/64-bit),FreeBSD(32-bit),Solaris(x64, SPARC; 32/64-bit),UNICOS,andUTS.Internationalization and localizationsupport is based onUnicode.It supports various external text encodings and provides string and character types based onUniversal Coded Character Set2 (UCS-2). Allegro CL can be used with and without itsintegrated development environment(IDE), which is available for Windows, Linux, and on macOS in version 8.2. The IDE (written in Allegro CL) includes development tools including an editor and an interface designer. Allegro CL can be used to deliver applications.

Allegro CL is available asfreeware,a Free Express Edition (with some limits like a constrained heap space) for non-commercial use.^[5]Customers can get access to much of the source code of Allegro CL.

Allegro CL includes an implementation ofProlog^[6]and an object caching database called AllegroCache.^[7]^[8]

The most recent release, Allegro CL 10.1, supports Symmetric Multiprocessing.^[9]^[10]

Allegro CL has been used to implement various applications:

Naughty Dog used it for the development of various video games,^[11]implementing the development environments for Game Oriented Object Lisp^[12]andGame Oriented Assembly Lisp
Allegro CL has been used to implement scheduling systems for various telescopes including theHubble Space Telescope^[13]and theSpitzer Space Telescope^[14]
