Comment on How long will the last Intel Macs be supported? macOS Sonoma gives us some hints

Comments

I still use an intel imac a few times a week to play with the CCL’s cocoa IDE. As intel macs become less stable, that software will die with it. Such a shame.

It is a shame that CCL was never updated to M1/M2 Apple Silicon.

Until recently I had three Common Lisp environments: LispWorks Professional, SBCL, and CCL. When I (mostly) retired I stopped paying for LispWorks and now CCL is off the table also.

I hope you have better luck than I did with CCL’s cocoa IDE and GUI library. I only write the simplest of GUIs. However, CCL is great for development because of fast compilation times and for some reason, file IO is so much faster than SBCL.
