| | Lisp machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Lisp machines were general purpose computers designed (often with hardware support) to efficiently run Lisp as their main language. | | | The Xerox Lisp Machine was well known for its advanced development environment, for its early graphical user interface and for novel applications like NoteCards (one of the first Hypertext applications). | | | Besides Xerox, Symbolics is the only Lisp Machine company still operating today, selling the Open Genera Lisp Machine software environment as well as the Macsyma computer algebra system. |

| | Lisp Machine Lisp |
| | Lisp Machine Lisp is a dialect of the Lisp programming language, a direct descendant of MacLisp, and was initially developed in the mid to late 1970s as the systems programming language for the MIT Lisp machines. | | | Lisp Machines, Inc.[?] and later Texas Instruments would share a common code base, but their dialect of Lisp Machine Lisp would differ from the version maintained at the MIT AI Lab by Richard Stallman and others. | | | Lisp Machine Lisp itself branched into 3 dialects. |

| | A Lisp machine (or LISPM) is a computer which has been optimized to run lisp efficiently and provide a good environment for programming in it. | | | The original Lisp machines were implemented at MIT, with spinoffs as LMI (defunct) and Symbolics (bankrupt). | | | Pleszkun and Thazhuthaveetil, "The Architecture of Lisp Machines", IEEE Computer, March 1987. |

| | Lisp |
| | LISP (= LISt Processing), is a general purpose programming language, but it is especially know as one of the most important languages for the development of Artificial Intelligence. | | | Although Lisp survived the crisis, some of the resulting prejudice and lack of information is still present in the computing field. | | | The development of LISP started in 1959 by the Artificial Intelligence Group at M.I.T. The language was developed in order to facilitate experiments with a proposed system called the Advice Taker. |

| | lisp - definition by dict.die.net |
| | All Lisp functions and programs are expressions that return values; this, together with the high memory use of Lisp, gave rise to Alan Perlis's famous quip (itself a take on an Oscar Wilde quote) that "Lisp programmers know the value of everything and the cost of nothing". | | | Most implementations of Lisp allow functions with side-effects but there is a core of Lisp which is purely functional. | | | Lisp is actually older than any other high level language still in use except Fortran. |

| | The Lisp community in the 70s was not limited to the MIT AI Lab, and the hackers were not all at MIT. | | | The Lisp machine was able to execute instructions about as fast as those other machines, but each instruction -- a car instruction would do data typechecking -- so when you tried to get the car of a number in a compiled program, it would give you an immediate error. | | | The language that you build your extensions on shouldn't be thought of as a programming language in afterthought; it should be designed as a programming language. |

| | Maxima is a computer algebra system developed in Lisp and based on Macsyma. | | | The Lisp was named 'Franz Lisp' after Franz Liszt (1811-1886), not only to fit in with the Berkeley-pun-filled environment, but also to emphasize that this was a quick implementation. | | | Macsyma was such a large program, however, that it could only run effectively on a specially-configured DEC 10 computer which had been loaded up with a huge, expensive memory (huge in those days meant about 2.5 megabytes!). |

| | If you fail three times to remember your password when asked for it, all other lisp machine users will be queried to see if they can remember. | | | As you will recall, this oft-broken feature is a conceptual extension of c-X O, allowing system designers to visit their competitors' systems in a second Zwei window. | | | So if your disk seems overly cluttered with file systems, you can just type c-X s-D and you'll be put in a window where you can remove the file systems you don't want with a single keystroke. |

| | In 1982, David went to work for Richard Greenblatt and Lucia Vaina as a programmer for Softrobotics, an affiliate of Lisp Machines, Inc. where he worked to develop an expert system for the diagnosis of brain damage using an Apple ][ as the front end to a Lisp Machine. | | | This system enabled the CEO to get a real-time view of the entire business through its sophisticated updating and reporting capabilities. | | | In 1984, David moved back to the Special Projects Laboratory at Thermo Electron to work for Stelianos Pezaris (Sutherland-Pezaris headmount and Pezaris Array Multiplier), where he designed a process control application as well as helped to design a multi-processor distributed controller architecture for a robotic PC plating system. |
