they don't need to eat CLISP :-) but you are right, this was my idea, too, to use CFFI instead of the CLISP FFI for accessing the lower level, then it will be portable for every Lisp implementation. > Berlin Brown was doing some work on this, and then he quit. > > http://www.newspiritcompany.com/retroevolution/widget_toolkit/widget.htm this looks very interesting.
