NIL
     
        /nil/ 1. New Implementation of Lisp.  A language intended to
        be the successor of {MacLisp}.  A large {Lisp}, implemented
        mostly in {VAX} {assembly language}.  A forerunner of {Common
        LISP}.

        1979].
     
        2. Network Implementation Language.  Strom & Yemini, TJWRC,
        IBM.  Implementation of complex networking protocols in a
        modular fashion.

        Programming", R. Strom et al, SIGPLAN Notices 18(6):73-82
        (June 1983)].
     
        3. Empty list or False.  In {Lisp}, the empty list (or "nil
        list") is used to represent the {Boolean} value False.  This
        is possible because {Lisp} is not typed.  True is represented
        by the special {atom} "t".
     
        4. Spoken in reply to a question, particularly one asked using
        the "-P" convention it means "No".  Most hackers assume this
        derives simply from LISP, but NIL meaning "no" was
        well-established among radio hams decades before LISP existed.
        The historical connection between early hackerdom and the ham
        radio world was strong enough that this may have been an
        influence.
