Abstract

The LISP 1.5 programming language has emerged as one of the preferred languages for writing complex programs, as well as an important theoretical tool. Among other things, the ability of LISP to treat programs as data and vice versa has made it a prime choice as a host for a number of experimental languages. However, even the most enthusiastic LISP programmers admit that the language is cumbersome in the extreme.
