The following user testimonials are culled primarily from the info-mcl mail list archives. Those appearing here without attribution are pending permission from their authors to be publicly identified.

"We are *loving* MCL! The world should know about this language!
Six weeks ago I got MCL in the mail and *two chapters* into "Getting Started" I got up, walked into the programmers' area and stopped the C++ development of version two of my app, which I now have to complete in three months before going belly up.
That was a good call. After decades of programming between us we feel like kids in a candy shop with MCL, and we know we have not even seen the half of it. Every time we look at each other's code we say to each other, "Why aren't you using #'xyz?" "#'xyz?! Lisp has that?!""
Ken Tilton, Missing Link Software

"Flavors Technology, Inc. has been using Macintosh Common Lisp as our primary software development environment for several years. It is an excellent programming tool. For our applications, CASE tools for massively parallel real-time processing, MCL provides unrivaled productivity. Our products would have taken several more man years to develop with other tools, even some other LISP tools on bigger platforms."
Doug Currie, Flavors Technology, 10/13/94

"MCL is an important tool for us. Lissys has relied on it for many years whilst developing Piano, its highly specialised and successful Aerospace design software. With the knowledge that there is now a bright long-term future for MCL, I feel confident in renewing the strategic commitment of Lissys to this top-quality product."
Dimitri Simos, Lissys Ltd, 10/24/94.

"Thanks for your committment and tell the guys I love them for their work!"

"MCL is a development platform that supports rapid development of highly innovative applications... MCL is the *best* Common Lisp implementation on stock hardware. We have applications at Brown that crash Lucid Common Lisp, but run fine under MCL."

"I'm not a big user--my school licenses 2 copies of MCL. But MCL is without question the best development environment I've ever used... It's a great product... Anybody from the MCL team is welcome at my house any time."

"I should mention that we also have several SGI machines whose graphical capabilities are beyond anything Apple has to offer. But because of the richness of the programming environment of MCL over that available on the SGI (or any other box so far) we continue to use MCL as our primary environment (development and delivery). Indeed, I have just refurbished the lab with Quadras --- again only because of MCL."
