+Clozure CL (formerly known as OpenMCL) is a free Common Lisp
+implementation. Features include:
+
+ * A fast, precise, compacting, generational garbage collector
+ written in hand-optimized C. The sizes of the generations are
+ fully configurable.
+
+ * Full native OS threads on all platforms. The API includes support
+ for shared memory, locking, and blocking for OS operations such
+ as I/O.
+
+ * Full Unicode support.
+
+ * Excellent debugging facilities. The names of all local variables
+ are available in a backtrace.
+
+ * A complete, mature foreign function interface.
+
+ * Many extensions including: files mapped to Common Lisp vectors
+ for fast file I/O; thread local hash tables and streams to
+ eliminate locking overhead; cons hashing support.
