That’d be great. But for now, I’m sticking to Ltk…

wxcl has not had an update in about a year. But, wxWidgets– the underlying library– is what I was referring to as having been around (actively) for 10 years. Also, since wxcl uses cffi I would feel comfortable updating it myself. We are going to be using it where I work so I am thinking about doing a major push to release whatever we add or enhance. Sort of like the developers of Chandler are doing with wxPython and wxWidgets.

Is wxcl actively maintained? I don’t think so…

Well, one other requirement for me is that the GUI have a native look and feel for the platform. As far as I know that narrows it down to a wx based solution. Also, the underlying library is over 10 years old and still being developed and maintained. I also had experience with it from other languages (python, haskell, c++).

ltk is the most stable cross-platform graphics toolkit for common lisp.

There’s also clg (http://sourceforge.net/projects/clg) in case GTK counts as being cross-platform. It runs on sbcl/cmucl/clisp, is actively maintained and seems quite mature.
