Genworks markets and supports GDL, a programming language and development environment, based on (and a superset of) ANSI Common Lisp. GDL is ideal for creating and deploying web-based applications, including highly technical apps in areas such as engineering automation and product configuration.
GDL integrates business and engineering logic, databases, and generative geometry, through its demand-driven KB-style object system and library of 3D geometric objects and integration to NURBS surface and solid modeling libraries.
Genworks offers a number of licensing options, and emphasizes comprehensive support for GDL. GDL comes embedded in an industrial-grade commercial Common Lisp. Source escrow is also available. www.genworks.com provides more information.
