Lisp Machine Lisp

<p>Lisp Machine Lisp is a <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a>, a <a href="/facts/Dialect_(computing)/cWTYbgWa">dialect</a> of the language <a href="/facts/Lisp_(programming_language)/xJHA3CrX">Lisp</a>. A direct descendant of <a href="/facts/Maclisp/EI2qXCJK">Maclisp</a>, it was initially developed in the mid to late 1970s as the <a href="/facts/System_programming/urTteIsW">system programming</a> language for the <a href="/facts/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology/Xk49vNA8">Massachusetts Institute of Technology</a> (MIT) <a href="/facts/Lisp_machine/8ULEHdF0">Lisp machines</a>. Lisp Machine Lisp was also the Lisp dialect with the most influence on the design of <a href="/facts/Common_Lisp/mq1pRbSF">Common Lisp</a>.
</p><p>Lisp Machine Lisp branched into three dialects. <a href="/facts/Symbolics/U8cJjbwb">Symbolics</a> named their variant ZetaLisp. <a href="/facts/Lisp_Machines/rR0dGMAu">Lisp Machines</a>, Inc. and later <a href="/facts/Texas_Instruments/88NUhuHF">Texas Instruments</a> (with the <a href="/facts/TI_Explorer/1IBps29d">TI Explorer</a>) would share a common code base, but their dialect of Lisp Machine Lisp would differ from the version maintained at the <a href="/facts/MIT_Computer_Science_and_Artificial_Intelligence_Laboratory/mTg66jb9">MIT AI Lab</a> by <a href="/facts/Richard_Stallman/hhoPN0Mw">Richard Stallman</a> and others.
