Lisp view: using Common Lisp and CLOS to hide a C toolkit

Abstract

This paper is a review of the Lisp View project. The paper focuses on our experiences in two areas: interfacing Common Lisp with a large complicated C library, and using the Common Lisp Object System[2] (CLOS) to implement the Lisp View application programmer's interface (API). We've also included a short survey of similar Common Lisp packages.
