LispWorks is a commercial implementation and Integrated Development Environment for the Common Lisp programming language. The software runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X (Intel), Linux (ARM and Intel), FreeBSD, Solaris (x86/x64, SPARC) and AIX. A runtime version for Android and IOS is available.

LispWorks was developed by the UK software company Harlequin Ltd., and first published in 1989.[1] Harlequin ultimately spun off its Lisp arm as Xanalys, which took over management and rights to LispWorks. In January 2005, the Xanalys Lisp team formed LispWorks Ltd. to market, develop, and support the LispWorks software.

Some of LispWorks's features are

The Enterprise edition also includes KnowledgeWorks, which supports rule-based programming (including support for Prolog); the CommonSQL database interface; and a CORBA binding.

In September 2009, it had been announced that LispWorks 6 would support concurrent threads and the CAPI graphics toolkit has been extended to support GTK+.[3] LispWorks 6.1, released in January 2012,[4] includes many further enhancements to CAPI, such as support for anti-aliased drawing.

LispWorks ran on the spacecraft Deep Space 1. The application called RAX won the NASA Software of the Year award in 1999.[5]
