Lisps 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.

Lisps 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.
