Maclisp

MACLISP is a dialect of the Lisp programming language. Developed MACLISP 1966 at MIT as part of Project MAC. Implementations were for 6 PDP and PDP -10 computer and the Multics operating system.

MACLISP was the basis of many other Lisp dialects ( for example ZetaLisp, S -1 Lisp ). In the resulting language variants, however, were incompatible with each other, which is why from 1981 on a common specification for a successor to MACLISP (and its variants) was carried out. The result of this work is the dialect of Lisp Common Lisp, the ANSI standard was published in 1994.

Known programs that were originally written in MACLISP, the computer algebra system Macsyma, an implementation of the Emacs editor called Multics Emacs and the speech analysis program SHRDLU were.
