Announcing mocl™: Common Lisp for iPhone/iOS, Android, and other mobile platforms

Nov 14, 2012

Paul Graham, founder of Y Combinator, called Lisp his “secret weapon” for building a web startup. However, for developers creating mobile applications, rather than web applications, the current options for developing with Common Lisp are limited. Today, Wukix would like to proudly announce that we are bringing first-class Common Lisp development to the mobile device world, with a new compiler/toolkit we are calling mocl.

mocl allows you to create applications for iOS, Android, and other mobile platforms using highly expressive Common Lisp code. mocl makes this possible by compiling your Common Lisp code to platform-portable, efficient C code.

Wukix has been privately developing mocl for nearly two years. We hope to make mocl publicly available, including source code, in early 2013 (licensing details TBD). In the meantime, if you are interested in trying a mocl developer preview and/or providing early feedback, please email us at Javascript Required.

Wukix is a small technology company located in Mountain View, California. If you are interested in partnering, investing, or joining our team, please contact us. Together, we can move the state of mobile CL forward.
