I'm sure there are - that's not what I said.
Also, Naughty Dog's games do _not_ use Lisp, they use a custom language that looks a little like Lisp, but has no garbage collector.
- z3phyr 11y agoNaughty dog used to use Game Oriented Assembly Lisp (GOAL), which was very scheme like. They dropped it for C++. Although they still use a Racket dialect for some gameplay scripting.
- lispm 11y agoLisps without GC have been used in various places for delivery. An example was Thinlisp, which tries to be mostly compatible with Common Lisp, but without GC. The compiler for Thinlisp is written in Common Lisp. G2's Gensym is written in such a Lisp. Thinlisp also comes from them, IIRC. http://www.gensym.com http://www.gensym.com Some Lisp don't/didn't use a GC, but reference counting or similar schemes.
