This article is set about 20 years prior to common lisp's standardization. It was a reasonable belief then.
- dasmoth 8y agoIt’s set in 1983. “Common LISP The Language” was published in 1984. (The ANSI standard was 1994. Still nowhere near 20 years).
- coldtea 8y agoWell, 10 years is the same order of magnitude as 20.
- lispm 8y agoNot really. If you were at MIT in 1983 then one would have probably access to Maclisp, whose compiler had seen some work by then. The first Scheme implementation was also written in Maclisp.
