Such a description language can be based on any computer programming language, such as Lisp, Pascal, or Java Virtual Machine bytecode.

; Armed Bear Common Lisp: A CL implementation that runs on the Java Virtual Machine.

Lisp Machines ( from Symbolics, TI and Xerox ) provided implementations of Common Lisp in addition to their native Lisp dialect ( Lisp Machine Lisp or InterLisp ).

The operating systems were written in Lisp Machine Lisp, InterLisp ( Xerox ) and later partly in Common Lisp.

The Lisp Machine was the first commercially available " workstation " ( although that word had not yet been coined ).

The operating system and software development environment, over 500, 000 lines, was written in Lisp from the microcode up, based on MIT's Lisp Machine Lisp.

The Lisp Machine system software was then copyrighted by MIT, and was licensed to Symbolics.

Richard Stallman's account claims Symbolics engaged in a business tactic in which it forced MIT to make all fixes and improvements to the Lisp Machine OS available only to it, and thereby choke off its competitor LMI, which at that time had insufficient resources to independently maintain or develop the OS and environment.

CL follows the older Lisp convention of using the symbols T and NIL, with NIL standing also for the empty list.

There are also compilers that compile Common Lisp code to C code.

It can also compile Lisp code to machine code via a C compiler.

It is also possible to embed ECL in C programs, and C code into Common Lisp programs.

There also exist open-source applications written in Common Lisp, such as:

Emacs Lisp can also function as a scripting language, much like the Unix Bourne shell, Perl, Python, scsh, or GNU Guile.

Embeddable Common Lisp ( ECL ) was also derived from KCL.

The interchangeability of code and data also gives Lisp its instantly recognizable syntax.

It was also influenced by Eiffel and Lisp.

It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management ; it is therefore similar in varying respects to Smalltalk, Python, Perl, Lisp, Dylan, Pike, and CLU.

w3m is also used by the Emacs text editor via the w3m. el Emacs Lisp module.

Yacc has also been rewritten for other languages, including Ratfor, ML, Ada, Pascal, Java, Python, Ruby and Common Lisp.

Although many of these also apply to non-functional languages, they either originate in, are most easily implemented in, or are particularly critical in functional languages such as Lisp and ML.

Several other Lisp dialects were also in use, and the need to unify the community resulted in the modern Common Lisp language.

Lisp Machine Lisp was also the Lisp dialect with the most influence on the design of Common Lisp.

This means that Lisp is homoiconic, that is, the primary representation of programs is also a data structure in a primitive type of the language itself.

NewtonScript is also one of the conceptual ancestors ( together with Smalltalk, Self, Act1, Lisp and Lua ) of a recently created general-purpose programming language called Io.

Later Symbolics also supported Common Lisp and the Common Lisp Object System.

CCL was previously known as OpenMCL, but that name is no longer used, to avoid confusion with the open source version of Macintosh Common Lisp.

Today, the most widely known general-purpose Lisp dialects are Common Lisp and Scheme.

Using a dialect of the Lisp programming language known as Scheme, the book explains core computer science concepts, including abstraction, recursion, interpreters and metalinguistic abstraction, and teaches modular programming.

Later versions included an implementation of pre-ANSI Common Lisp, known as Xerox Common Lisp.

The general problem of accidental capture was well known within the Lisp community prior to the introduction of hygienic macros.

Among software engineers, Greenspun is known for his Tenth Rule of Programming: " Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.

Lisp is well known to be very flexible and so is the function.

Lierse play their home matches at the Herman Vanderpoortenstadion in Lier, which is also known as ' Het Lisp ', because the stadium is located in a neighbourhood named Lisp.

The existence of the compiler and all its subroutines at run time made it possible to support far richer language extensions than were possible with Macros, and as a result Pop-11 was used ( by Steve Hardy, Chris Mellish and John Gibson )) to produce an implementation of Prolog, using the standard syntax of Prolog, and the combined system became known as Poplog, to which Common Lisp and Standard ML were later added.

Moon is a programmer and computer scientist, known for his work on the Lisp programming language and being one of the founders of Symbolics.

He is known in the field of functional programming in LISP as well as in the aspect-oriented programming ( AOP ) community for contributions to this field by applying AOP through Lisp < sup > 1 </ sup >.

The Schwartzian Transform is a version of a Lisp idiom known as decorate-sort-undecorate, which avoids recomputing the sort keys by temporarily associating them with the input items.

The X3J13 committee was formed in 1986 to draw up an ANSI Common Lisp standard based on the first edition of the book Common Lisp the Language ( also known as " CLtL ", or " CLtL1 "), by Guy L. Steele, Jr., which was previously a de facto standard for the language.
