<longdescription>
Steel Bank Common Lisp is an open source Common Lisp
implementation. It provides an integrated native compiler,
interpreter, and debugger.

SBCL is a fork off of the main branch of CMUCL. SBCL is distinguished
from CMUCL by a greater emphasis on maintainability. In particular,
the SBCL system can be built directly from its source code, so that
the output corresponds to the source code in a controlled, verifiable
way, and arbitrary changes can be made to the system without causing
bootstrapping problems. SBCL also places less emphasis than CMU CL
does on new non-ANSI extensions, or on backward compatibility with old
non-ANSI features.

Support for native threading on GNU/Linux is available for the x86
platform, including support for the new futex system call available in
2.6.x kernels.

SBCL 0.8.17 and later support Unicode.
