Lexically-scoped lisp dialects offer great flexibility and expressive power. Unfortunately, they tend to be inefficiently implemented, because many interpreter structures such as variable binding environments must be ...

The possibility of incredibly cheap, fantastically large media for storage gives rise to a realistic lisp memory management scheme under which GC may be postponed for days, or even indefinitely;the idea is encapsulate...

A compiler has been written which compiles MAClisp into a compact intermediate language called 1-code, and an 1-code interpreter has been incorporated into an existing lisp system. The 1-code "machine" has a...

We review the features of some of the major dialects of lisp, show how they are reflected in denotational treatments of their semantics and draw a series of conclusions concerning semantic design of languages, program...

This paper addresses the choice of lisp as the implementation language, and its consequences, including some of the implementation issues. The detailed history of Multics Emacs, its system-level design considerations, and its impact on Multics and its user community are discussed in [Greenberg]. One of the immediate and profound consequences of this choice has been to assert lisp's adequacy, indeed, superiority, as a full-fledged systems and applications programming language. Multics Emacs has established an awareness of lisp in quarters where the term had never been heard.
