XLISP

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

XLISP (e X perimental LISP ) is a programming language which, in its modern version, emerged from a variant of the functional programming language LISP called Scheme , and which contains elements of object-oriented programming . XLISP is one of the very high level programming languages ​​and works both object-oriented and procedural.

With XLISP there is no distinction between programs and data, no declaration of data types, data structures of any size have been possible since the development of the Lisp language in the 1960s. The language is very clear, but not fault-tolerant.

XLISP was developed by David Betz , announced publicly in 1983 (at that time by no means Scheme-based), the source code of the interpreter is released as open source .
