- politips 8y agoDigging a bit more I believe you're referring to this varient: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/lisp/impl/starlisp/ca_exmpl.cl http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/l... The *Lisp in the book The Connection Machine used a different sytax, there the operators α, β, and · where used to algebraically map and reduce lisp functions over parallel data structures as described in this paper by Hillis and Steele: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.108.5413&rep=rep1&type=pdf http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.108... Unfortunately it doesn't seem like this language exists anymore.
