| | MacLisp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | MacLisp was used to implement the Macsyma symbolic algebra program and the Planner programming language, and was in widespread use in the artificial intelligence research community through the early 1980s. | | | MacLisp was named for Project MAC, and is unrelated to Apple's Macintosh ("Mac") computer, which it predated by many years. | | | MacLisp is a dialect of the Lisp programming language. |

| | Jim Falksen and I produced many new modes and functions for Multics Emacs (using MacLisp and a few defpl1 callouts to PL/1 code) which greatly eased software development for ENWGS. | | | There was one additional use of Multics Emacs for a MacLisp tool for automating changes: The MORM (Multipage Form) conversion effort at the Moorestown, New Jersey ENWGS SDF system. | | | Many of these tools have been ported to GNU Emacs and continue to be used on the ENWGS project... |

| | Version II Lisp, known as "Multics MacLisp" was developed by MIT undergraduates Dave Reed and Dave Moon to support Macsyma. | | | MACSYMA was ported to MacLisp by Dave Moon in 1974 and used for some large problems no other machine could handle; Multics MACSYMA could do them by using virtual memory. | | | Bernie Greenberg at Honeywell CISL took over maintenance and extension of MacLisp in 1974, and used it to write Emacs. |

| | While SCHEME variables can sometimes be represented as temporary MacLISP variables using LAMBDA, in general they must be kept 21 in a "consed environment" in the heap; CAR and CDR are used to "index" the environment "stack" (which is not really a stack, but in general tree-like). | | | The BLOCK macro is similar to the MacLISP PROON; it evaluates all its arguments and returns the value of the last one. | | | Similarly, since SCHEME is a full-funarg dialect of LISP while MacLISP is not, we cannot in general use MacLISP's variable-binding mechanisms to implement those of SCHEME. |

| | SHRDLU was written almost 30 years ago, in a now-obsolete language (MACLISP), to run on a now-obsolete system, and as such has been relegated to the texts of Philosophy and Computer Science, where it provides a remarkable example of "intelligence" through the understanding of natural language. | | | As the work progressed, project members saw more and more how complex the system was, but the focus was on a straightforward porting of MACLISP operations to their LISP equivalents. | | | The goal of this project is to "breathe life" into SHRDLU, by porting it to a modern language that will run on a variety of systems. |
