Allegro Common Lisp is a
Solaris (x64, SPARC; 32/64-bit), UNICOS, and UTS. Internationalization and localization support is based on Unicode. It supports various external text encodings and provides string and character types based on Universal Coded Character Set 2 (UCS-2). Allegro CL can be used with and without its integrated 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 as freeware, 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 of Prolog[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] and Game Oriented Assembly Lisp
- Allegro CL has been used to implement scheduling systems for various telescopes including the Hubble Space Telescope[13] and the Spitzer Space Telescope[14]
