Descendants, or just borrowing the name?

Reading Cliki's article on "CLX"[1] leaves me confused. Is the Common Lisp CLX a descendant in code of the original which this article is about, an attempt to do the same thing but not for C? (The article is confusing about that, incidentally - it seems to imply that it was intended for C++ and Delphi, but never actually says so). Or is the name and function some sort of coincidence? --Gwern (contribs) 17:00, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From that linked page: "It is the Common Lisp equivalent of Xlib." I'd guess it's a coincidence; their phrase gives the same acronym. -- CRConrad (talk) 12:56, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
