  • The Evolution of Lisp
    1 The Evolution of Lisp Guy L. Steele Jr. Richard P. Gabriel Thinking Machines Corporation Lucid, Inc. 245 First Street 707 Laurel Street Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142 Menlo Park, California 94025 Phone: (617) 234-2860 Phone: (415) 329-8400 FAX: (617) 243-4444 FAX: (415) 329-8480 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Lisp is the world’s greatest programming language—or so its proponents think. The structure of Lisp makes it easy to extend the language or even to implement entirely new dialects without starting from scratch. Overall, the evolution of Lisp has been guided more by institutional rivalry, one-upsmanship, and the glee born of technical cleverness that is characteristic of the “hacker culture” than by sober assessments of technical requirements. Nevertheless this process has eventually produced both an industrial- strength programming language, messy but powerful, and a technically pure dialect, small but powerful, that is suitable for use by programming-language theoreticians. We pick up where McCarthy’s paper in the first HOPL conference left off. We trace the development chronologically from the era of the PDP-6, through the heyday of Interlisp and MacLisp, past the ascension and decline of special purpose Lisp machines, to the present era of standardization activities. We then examine the technical evolution of a few representative language features, including both some notable successes and some notable failures, that illuminate design issues that distinguish Lisp from other programming languages. We also discuss the use of Lisp as a laboratory for designing other programming languages. We conclude with some reflections on the forces that have driven the evolution of Lisp.

  • Lisp: Program Is Data
    LISP: PROGRAM IS DATA A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MACLISP Jon L White Laboratory for Computer Science, M.I.T.* ABSTRACT For over 10 years, MACLISP has supported a variety of projects at M.I.T.'s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and the Laboratory for Computer Science (formerly Project MAC). During this time, there has been a continuing development of the MACLISP system, spurred in great measure by the needs of MACSYMAdevelopment. Herein are reported, in amosiac, historical style, the major features of the system. For each feature discussed, an attempt will be made to mention the year of initial development, andthe names of persons or projectsprimarily responsible for requiring, needing, or suggestingsuch features. INTRODUCTION In 1964,Greenblatt and others participated in thecheck-out phase of DigitalEquipment Corporation's new computer, the PDP-6. This machine had a number of innovative features that were thought to be ideal for the development of a list processing system, and thus it was very appropriate that thefirst working program actually run on thePDP-6 was anancestor of thecurrent MACLISP. This earlyLISP was patterned after the existing PDP-1 LISP (see reference l), and was produced by using the text editor and a mini-assembler on the PDP-1. That first PDP-6 finally found its way into M.I.T.'s ProjectMAC for use by theArtificial lntelligence group (the A.1. grouplater became the M.I.T. Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and Project MAC became the Laboratory for Computer Science). By 1968, the PDP-6 wasrunning the Incompatible Time-sharing system, and was soon supplanted by the PDP-IO.Today, the KL-I 0, anadvanced version of thePDP-10, supports a variety of time sharing systems, most of which are capable of running a MACLISP.

FOREWORD The technical programof the 1977 MACSPMA Users' Conference, held at Berkeley,California, from July 27 to July 29, 1977, consisted of the 45 contributedpapers reported in.this publicationand of a workshop.The work- shop was designed to promote an exchange of information between implementers and users of the MACSYMA computersystem and to help guide future developments. I The response to the call for papers has well exceeded the early estimates of the conference organizers; and the high quality and broad ra.ngeof topics of thepapers submitted has been most satisfying. A bibliography of papers concerned with the MACSYMA system is included at the endof this publication. We would like to thank the members of the programcommittee, the many referees, and the secretarial and technical staffs at the University of California at Berkeley and at the Laboratory for Computer Science, Massachusetts Instituteof Technology, for shepherding the many papersthrough the submission- to-publicationprocess. We are especiallyappreciative of theburden. carried by .V. Ellen Lewis of M. I. T. for serving as expert in document preparation from computer-readableto camera-ready copy for several papers. This conference originated as the result of an organizing session called by Joel Moses of M.I.T.

Consequently, in BBN-LISP every datum is a Pew existing computers permit convenient or pointer; integers, strings, etc. are all efficient implementation of dynamic storage referenced indirectly. Storage is allocated in quanta, and each quantum holds data of allocation, recursive procedures, or only one type, so what type of object a operations on data whose type is represented given pointer references is just a function explicitly at run time rather than of the object's address, i.e. the pointer determined at compile time.

  • 1 Introduction
    C7|Lisp Programming Russell Bradford 1 Introduction This course is about Lisp. Or rather this course is about how to program in Lisp. The distinction is a great one: Lisp, as a language to use, to program with, to learn, is one of the simplest of all languages. There is no difficult syntax, and every piece of code or data is treated in exactly the same way, with only very few (but important) exceptions. On the other hand, some of the hardest language semantic questions can be posed and written using Lisp, involving subtle or complex ideas, readily adapting to accommodate every new fad and paradigm. We shall concentrate on the programming aspect, and perhaps give the merest hint of the semantic under- pinning. 1.1 What is Lisp? The name \Lisp" means \List Processor." The basic object that we manipulate is the list. A list is an ordered collection of objects, each of which may be other lists, or things which are not lists, called \atoms." An atom is any object that does not have a list structure. Thus (the cat sat (on the) mat) is a list of 5 objects, the 4th being a list of 2 objects. The symbols the, cat, etc., are atoms. Here is another example of a list ((one 1) (two 2) (three 3)) which associates a symbol with a numeral (each of which are atoms). Lists come in all shapes and sizes, for example (((x 10) 2) ((x 5) ((y 2) 1) 1) ((x 2) 3) 2) is a more complicated list, which some people like to think of as a representation for the polynomial 2x10 + (y2 + 1)x5 + 3x2 + 2.

Department of Computer Science The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date July 22, 1980 ABSTRACT Abstract machine definitions have been recognized as convenient and powerful tools for enhancing software portability. One such machine, the Inter lisp Virtual Machine, is examined in this thesis. We present the Multilisp System as an implementation of the Virtual Machine and discuss some of the design criteria and difficulties encountered in mapping the Virtual Machine onto a particular environment. On the basis of our experience with Multilisp we indicate several weaknesses of the Virtual Machine which impair its adequacy as a basis for a portable Interlisp System.

The structure of Lisp makes it easy to extend the language or even to implement entirely new dialects without starting from scratch. Overall, the evolution of Lisp has been guided more by institutional rivalry, one-upsmanship, and the glee born of technical cleverness that is characteristic of the “hacker culture” than by sober assessments of technical requirements. Nevertheless this process has eventually produced both an industrial- strength programming language, messy but powerful, and a technically pure dialect, small but powerful, that is suitable for use by programming-language theoreticians. We pick up where McCarthy’s paper in the first HOPL conference left off. We trace the development chronologically from the era of the PDP-6, through the heyday of Interlisp and MacLisp, past the ascension and decline of special purpose Lisp machines, to the present era of standardization activities. We then examine the technical evolution of a few representative language features, including both some notable successes and some notable failures, that illuminate design issues that distinguish Lisp from other programming languages. We also discuss the use of Lisp as a laboratory for designing other programming languages. We conclude with some reflections on the forces that have driven the evolution of Lisp.

".--(-- ,,\--1.::> INTRODUCTION Lisp has been in the forefront of symbol manipulation programming languages for more than a decade and interactive implem~entations on timeshared computer systems have kept it up-to-date. In particular BBN Lisp for the SDS 940 and, more recently, the PDP-10 provide a very large address space and powerful primitive'; ) .. / operations allowing interactive debugging and editting ext~sions, among others, -t to be written in Lisp itself. (1,2). CAL Lisp is an attempt to coninue this line t of development and hopefully harness a fast computer, the CDC 6400, and a not-so­ r fast operating system, the CA~Timesharing system • ..; BBN has diverged from Lisp 1.S (3) in several ways which increase efficiency without, it is felt, detracting from the language. First, a linear pushdown stack replaces the association list scheme for variable bindings and allows compiled functions to reference their arguments directly. (These compiled functions still place the variable names with the values to facilitate debugging and maintain compatibility with interpreted functions.) Second, the property list of an atom is no longer used by Lisp to hold function definitions and constant values. Each atom has three settable attributes: a definition cell, referenced when the atom is used as a function name; a "zero-level value" cell, used when the atom occurs as a free variable bound nowhere in the stack; and a property list cell, purely for use by the user (including the Lisp-coded extensions) as a hatrack.
