Hello guys,
I am very interested in learning the Common Lisp programming language, but I need it to be able to handle any project that I think up. For instance, if I were to make an IDE for some scripting languages, then make an image editing program, then after that make something else, etc. I would need CLisp to be able to handle it.

Also, I haven't heard anything about GUI programming in CLisp, how would that work?

Thanks in advance,

GUI programming on CLisp will generally require you to use a GUI library. wxWidgets has a common lisp binding that you can use. Ultimately, CLisp is turing complete, so it's only a question of finding the right bindings, not of what's possible :)

In you are interested in the core concepts of programming logic behind other than quickly building GUI, my personal favorite for Scheme (Lisp Dialect) that teaches basics of functional programming is
