- protomyth 5y agoEven older lisps had interesting data structures. Star Lisp (*Lisp) on the Connection Machine had vectors. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/*Lisp https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/*Lisp
- lispm 5y agoEvery Common Lisp already has vectors. STARLISP is an extension of Common Lisp. Pvars in STARLISP are basically similar to vectors with elements spread over different processors.
