<h2 id="org82641a8">Seamless Integration of Common Lisp and C++</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-org82641a8">
<p>
Clasp is a new <a href="https://common-lisp.net/">Common Lisp</a> implementation
that seamlessly interoperates with C++ libraries and programs using
<a href="http://llvm.org/">LLVM</a> for compilation to native code. This allows
Clasp to take advantage of a vast array of preexisting libraries and
programs, such as out of the scientific computing ecosystem. Embedding
them in a Common Lisp environment allows you to make use of rapid
prototyping, incremental development, and other capabilities that make
it a powerful language.

<h2 id="org6926a8c">Common Lisp Ecosystem Support</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-org6926a8c">
<p>
Clasp supports <a href="https://common-lisp.net/project/slime/">SLIME</a>,
<a href="https://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/">ASDF</a>, and
<a href="https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/">Quicklisp</a>. As such, development as
in other Common Lisp implementations should be rather straight forward.
</p>

<p>
Note that Clasp does not currently support several of the staple
features such as
<a href="https://github.com/drmeister/clasp/issues/162">CFFI</a>,
<a href="https://github.com/drmeister/clasp/issues/163">Bordeaux-Threads</a>, and
<a href="https://github.com/drmeister/clasp/issues/164">Unicode</a>.
