Ah.. and please review about SBCL which from CMUCL ;;

Sorry for confused. After all, i settled down at CLISP (from GNU) ;;
Still i'm baby for Common Lisp, many many help me from now on ^^;

Please read this review of the different options.

Clisp is good. If you are interested in CMUCL for speed, SBCL is another good option (it forked from CMUCL many years ago). GCL is not widely used today.

My suggestion: stay with clisp until it causes a problem. By then, you should have learned enough to pick another implementation more suitable to your needs. The ansi standard and many portability libraries make it easy to switch.

the information there is a little bit outdated:

Clozure Common LISP has SLIME and works under Windows
Embeddable Common LISP is missing
many others are missing

IMHO the CLISP contains bugs.... Never came across one in the Clozure CCL.
