Common Lisp is a new dialect of Lisp, a
|
||
|
|
successor to MacLisp [<A HREF="node368.html#MOONUAL">33</A>,<A HREF="node368.html#PITMANUAL">37</A>], influenced strongly by
|
||
|
|
Zetalisp [<A HREF="node368.html#BLUELISPM">55</A>,<A HREF="node368.html#GREENLISPM">34</A>] and to some extent by Scheme
|
||
|
|
[<A HREF="node368.html#SCHEMEREVISEDREPORT">46</A>] and Interlisp [<A HREF="node368.html#INTERLISP">50</A>].
