# Prelude Common Lisp

!!! Note

    This module builds on top of the shared [Lisp Base](lisp.md) module.

## lisp-mode

Not much to say here, as `lisp-mode` is configured in the "Lisp Base" module.

## SLIME

This module bundles [SLIME](https://common-lisp.net/project/slime/), a popular interactive
programming environment for SLIME, and enables many of its essential features.

SLIME supports many Common Lisp implementations:

* CMU Common Lisp (CMUCL)
* Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL)
* Clozure CL (a.k.a. OpenMCL)
* LispWorks
* Allegro CL
* CLISP
* Scieneer CL
* ECL
* Corman CL
* ABCL

The default config assumes the usage of [Clozure CL](https://github.com/Clozure/ccl) on macOS and
of [SBCL](http://www.sbcl.org/) everywhere else. That's something you can easily
tweak via `slime-default-lisp`.

You can start SLIME with `M-x slime`.
