+Snow is a declarative language (DSL) targeted at building graphical user interfaces based on the Java Swing GUI library.
 It is somewhat similar in spirit to <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xul/">XUL</a> or <a href="http://www.swixml.org/">SwiX<sup>ml</sup></a>, while adopting a unique approach which has many advantages over XML + scripting languages. Snow is a fully interactive language - you can prototype your GUI at the read-eval-print loop and see the results immediately, without a lengthy batch compilation phase.

 Snow is written in a combination of <a href="http://java.sun.com/">Java</a> and Common Lisp (particularly its implementation

 Snow can easily be embedded in a Java application by using JSR-223. The snow.Snow class has some static methods that can be used to load some Snow source code from a .lisp file (or classpath resource), or to obtain an instance of <code>javax.script.ScriptEngine</code> which you can use for more advanced stuff (e.g. compiling Lisp code, or calling specific Lisp functions). When embedding Snow to define (part of) the application's GUI, it is recommended that you modularize the Snow code in functions, which you'll call from Java to obtain the GUI components:
 <h4><code>file.lisp</code></h4>
 <pre class="paste-area">
+(in-package :snow-user)
+
 (defun create-main-frame (&rest args)
   ...snow code...)
 </pre>
