From the title I thought that a new version of common lisp was being made.
- rurban 6y agoCommon Lisp already supports fsym, a function with the same name as a non-callable symbol. Hence its called a Lisp-2, in opposite to older and simplier lisps (like Scheme) with only one namespace. Lisp 1.5 started with that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp#The_function_namespace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp#The_function_names... http://www.nhplace.com/kent/Papers/Technical-Issues.html http://www.nhplace.com/kent/Papers/Technical-Issues.html The - is significant. Most people hearing lisp-2 would refer to the namespace seperation, not the 1.5 followup version.
