A few years ago, Apple acquired Coral Software, whose flagship product was a version of Lisp based on the 1984 Common Lisp standard. This was before CLOS, so Coral developed their own object programming standard, Object Lisp, with a Macintosh Class library built on top.

Apple has renamed the product Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL), replaced Object Lisp with CLOS, brought it up to the latest almost-ANSI standard, improved the class library, and released it in beta form, MCL 2.0b1. These articles are based on MCL 2.0b1.
