Lisp Machine Lisp

Lisp Machine Lisp is a programming language, a dialect of the language Lisp. A direct descendant of Maclisp, it was initially developed in the mid to late 1970s as the system programming language for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lisp machines. Lisp Machine Lisp was also the Lisp dialect with the most influence on the design of Common Lisp.

Manual
The Lisp Machine Manual describes the Lisp Machine Lisp language in detail. The manual was popularly termed the Chine Nual, because the full title was printed across the front and back covers such that only those letters appeared on the front. This name is sometimes further abbreviated by blending the two words into Chinual. ==Traits==
Traits
Lisp Machine Lisp features include: • Support for object-oriented programming via an object system named Flavors • Uses dynamic binding, but supports closures with a special construct • Integer numbers were read and printed in octal (base 8) by default • Dividing floating point numbers returned decimals, dividing integers returned rational numbers (fractions) ==References==
