I'm doing a small report comparing the object oriented features of C++ and CLOS. I come from a C++ background and have spent some time getting up to speed on CLOS. I'm impressed by its extensibility and flexability.
A question I have is "What types of real-world applications are being developed in CLOS, and what specific features of CLOS make it suitable for those apps". If you develop apps in CLOS, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks very much.
Frank.

you may find the book Object-Oriented Programming, the CLOS perspective, edited by Andreas Paepcke, MIT press, 1993, ISBN 0-262-16136-2 a useful addition to your research. it has a paper on comparing CLOS and C++ by Linda G. DeMichiel. it may be somewhat dated, considering that C++ has been suffering a bad case of cancerous growth in ISO.

The ESPRIT project Multiworks (multimedia workstation) use CLOS/Lisp as part of its distributed application environment (Harlequin LispWorks ?? ) .
That is/was quite a big project.

Nichimen Graphics sells a full 2D/3D animation package running on SGI (Silicon Graphics), built entirely in Lisp with CLOS. We run on Franz's Allegro (check http://www.franz.com) rel. 4.2.
It's as fast as C++ applications, but much more flexible thanx to CLOS. The UI interface is, in particular, more elaborate and simple to use than other Computer Graphics packages. Any customization is straightforward for everybody: internal developers and customers.

Hello,
I'm doing a small report comparing the object oriented features of C++ and CLOS. I come from a C++ background and have spent some time getting up to speed on CLOS. I'm impressed by its extensibility and flexability.
A question I have is "What types of real-world applications are being developed in CLOS, and what specific features of CLOS make it suitable for those apps". If you develop apps in CLOS, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks very much.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't this only a server? I did not see any reference to a client, though it was a rather cursory glance.
You are right. It is mostly a server, though some CLIM code is available (obviously for thise who have CLIM).
