Execute HQ9+/Common Lisp

Execute HQ9+/Common Lisp is an implementation of HQ9+. Other implementations of HQ9+.

Execute HQ9+/Common Lisp is part of RCHQ9+. You may find other members of RCHQ9+ at Category:RCHQ9+.

The interpreter (in Common Lisp) accepts a string, treated as program text, or a pathname object, in which case the contents of the file are the program text.
