IHP is a Ruby on Rails style framework in Haskell while CLOG is a GUI framework in Common Lisp. They don't have that many overlapping use cases though both a awesome.

Also nothing wrong with IHP offering commercial features. Developers need to eat.

> They don't have that many overlapping use cases

i believe they do. CLOG is very well suited for spa and db driven web applications and they both have a builder application [0]. but yes CLOG does have more uses than just making websites

nothing wrong with charging for things but we should definitely appreciate things that are done for free
