Steel Bank Common Lisp is an open source Common Lisp implementation.  It
provides an integrated native compiler, interpreter, and debugger.

SBCL is a fork off of the main branch of CMUCL.  SBCL is distinguished from
CMUCL by a greater emphasis on maintainability.  In particular, the SBCL system
can be built directly from its source code, so that the output corresponds to
the source code in a controlled, verifiable way, and arbitrary changes can be
made to the system without causing bootstrapping problems.  SBCL also places
less emphasis than CMU CL does on new non-ANSI extensions, or on backward
compatibility with old non-ANSI features.

Support for native threading on GNU/Linux is available for the x86 and amd64
platforms using an NPTL enabled GLIBC.

SBCL 0.8.17 and later support Unicode.
