What Does CLOS Stand For?
CLOS stands for Common Lisp Object System Language
CLOS, or Common Lisp Object System Language, is an object-oriented programming extension of the Common Lisp language. It provides a powerful and flexible framework for defining classes, methods, and generic functions, enabling developers to create complex software systems with reusable components. CLOS supports multiple inheritance, method combination, and dynamic dispatch, allowing for sophisticated object-oriented programming paradigms. Its design emphasizes extensibility and integration with the existing features of Common Lisp, making it a vital part of the language's ecosystem for building robust applications.
