Getting lisp

In Linux: The easiest way to get up and running is with a debian based distribution. With dselect select either SBCL, CMUCL, CLISP, or GCL.
In Windows: Lispworks personal edition is the fastest way to get started. There are some limitations to the personal edition (heap size, saving images, and time). Franz Inc., also has a free trial for their Allegro CL environment.

Using lisp

Currently, the best environment for hacking in lisp is SLIME (Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs). See the CLIKI page for SLIME setup.
