eXperimental LISP

(xlisp) An experimental programming language

combining a subset of {Common Lisp} with an {object-oriented}

extension capability (Class and Object types). It was

implemented by David Micheal Betz at Apple to allow

experimentation with {object-oriented programming} on small

computers. The {C} {source code} has been ported to {Unix},

{Microsoft Windows}, {Macintosh}, {Amiga}, {Atari}, and

{MS-DOS}.

Version 2.1 of the {interpreter}, by Tom Almy is closer to

Common Lisp.

Latest version: 2.1, as of 1992-05-26.
