<p>Lispkit Lisp is a <a href="/facts/Lexical_scoping/bbj6AFMo">lexically scoped</a>, <a href="/facts/Purely_functional_programming/am3DcNAd">purely functional</a> subset of <a href="/facts/Lisp_/xJHA3CrX">Lisp</a> (Pure Lisp) developed as a testbed for <a href="/facts/Functional_programming/cdxqPEIM">functional programming</a> concepts. It was first used for early experimentation with <a href="/facts/Lazy_evaluation/mD3DxDkc">lazy evaluation</a>. An implementation based on a <i>stack, environment, control, dump</i> <a href="/facts/Virtual_machine/BLevU3sx">virtual machine</a> and <a href="/facts/Abstract_machine/zuC4RKLn">abstract machine</a> (<a href="/facts/SECD_machine/CaJq4ELV">SECD machine</a>) written in an <a href="/facts/ALGOL/wlFJGNEx">ALGOL</a> variant was published by the developer Peter Henderson in 1980. The <a href="/facts/Compiler/WNfCDFJe">compiler</a> and <a href="/facts/Virtual_machine/BLevU3sx">virtual machine</a> are highly <a href="/facts/Porting/7s6tFs8B">portable</a> and as a result have been implemented on many machines.
