.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
ECL stands for Embeddable Common Lisp.
The ECL project is an effort to modernize
Giuseppe Attardi's ECL environment to
produce an implementation of the Common Lisp
language which complies to the ANSI X3J13
definition of the language.
ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) is an interpreter of the Common-Lisp language as described in the X3J13 Ansi specification, featuring CLOS (Common-Lisp Object System), conditions, loops, etc, plus a translator to C, which can produce standalone executables.
ECL supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS X, Solaris and Windows, running on top of the Intel, Sparc, Alpha, PowerPC and ARM processors.

.IP \(bu
A dynamic loader.
ASDF, Sockets, Gray streams, MOP, and other useful components
.IP \(bu
