The first line in the README after the title is:
> A Common Lisp Interpreter Built in COBOL.
- coldtea 8y agoTrue that, though Common Lisp interpreter is not full Common Lisp e.g. "Common Lisp + its tons of standard libs" -- just "interpreter able to parse Common Lisp".
- lispm 8y agoSee 'language subsets' in the Common Lisp standard. http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/01_g.htm http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/01_g.h... Roughly: A language would be a subset of Common Lisp, when all programs in that language are valid standard Common Lisp programs.
- coldtea 8y agoHe's a fair cop.
