Common Lisp
A dialect of {Lisp} defined by a consortium of
companies brought together in 1981 by the {Defence Advanced
Research Projects Agency} (DARPA). Companies included
{Symbolics}, {Lisp Machines, Inc.}, {Digital Equipment
Corporation}, {Bell Labs}., {Xerox}, {Hewlett-Packard},
{Lawrence Livermore Labs}., {Carnegie-Mellon University},
{Stanford University}, {Yale}, {MIT} and {USC Berkeley}.
Common Lisp is {lexically scoped} by default but can be
{dynamically scoped}.
Common Lisp is a large and complex language, fairly close to a
superset of {MacLisp}. It features {lexical binding}, data
structures using defstruct and setf, {closures}, multiple
values, types using declare and a variety of numerical types.
Function calls allow "&optional", keyword and "&rest"
arguments. Generic sequence can either be a list or an
{array}. It provides formatted printing using escape
characters. Common LISP now includes {CLOS}, an extended LOOP
{macro}, condition system, {pretty printing} and logical
pathnames.
Implementations include {AKCL}, {CCL}, {CLiCC}, {CLISP},
{CLX}, {CMU Common Lisp}, {DCL}, {KCL}, {MCL} and {WCL}.
