Object-Oriented Lisp Programming with CLOS: Practical Common Lisp Object System Explained from Classes and Methods to Metaobject Protocols (Advanced ... Design, and Machine Learning in Modern Lisp) - Softcover
Book 2 of 6: Advanced Lisp Architecture Series: CLOS, Metaobject Protocols, DSL Design, and Machine Learning in Modern Lisp
Synopsis
What if your Lisp programs could evolve at runtime, adapting to new requirements without a single reboot?
Object-Oriented Lisp Programming with CLOS introduces the Common Lisp Object System as the ultimate toolkit for building modular, adaptive software. Whether you’re a seasoned Lisp hacker or transitioning from other OOP languages, this book shows you how to leverage CLOS’s powerful features—from basic class definitions and multiple dispatch to advanced metaobject protocols—to write cleaner, more maintainable code. You’ll learn how to structure applications around behavior rather than data, layer cross-cutting concerns gracefully, and redefine system behavior on the fly. Readers gain practical skills for real-world projects in AI, simulation, plugin architectures, and beyond.
What Sets This Book Apart?
You won’t just read theory—you’ll follow a clear roadmap through twelve hands-on chapters, each packed with code you can run in your REPL immediately:
Understanding the Foundations of CLOS – Origins and principles that distinguish CLOS from other OOP systems
Classes, Instances, and Slots – Crafting robust class hierarchies and slot options
Working with Generic Functions – Multiple dispatch and behavior-driven design
Defining and Using Methods – Parameter specialization, dynamic redefinition, and method combinations
Multiple Inheritance and Class Precedence – Combining mixins safely with a predictable precedence list
Multiple Dispatch in Practice – Real-world multi-argument methods for simulation and messaging
Method Combinations and Cooperative Behavior – Layering :before, :after, and :around methods for logging, transactions, and more
Metaobject Protocol Fundamentals – Reflective tools to inspect and customize your object system
Building Adaptive Systems with MOP – Custom metaclasses, slot behavior, and self-extending frameworks
Integrating CLOS into Modern Lisp Applications – Blending functional, procedural, and object paradigms in AI and knowledge systems
Debugging, Introspection, and Optimization – REPL-driven troubleshooting and performance tuning
Real-World CLOS Design Patterns – Observer, Strategy, plugin architectures, and hierarchical interactions
Each chapter offers expert insights drawn from production-scale Lisp projects, ensuring you’ll finish not just knowledgeable, but productive.
Ready to transform your Lisp development with CLOS’s unmatched flexibility? Grab your copy of Object-Oriented Lisp Programming with CLOS today and start building dynamic, resilient applications that evolve as fast as your ideas.
