Common Lisp the Language, 2nd edition

Аннотация

Common Lisp has succeeded. Since publication of the rst edition of this book in 1984 many implementors have used it as a de facto standard for Lisp implementation.As a result, it is now much easier to port large Lisp programs from one implementation to another. Common Lisp has proved to be a useful and stable platform for rapid prototyping and systems delivery in articial intelligence and other areas. With experience gained in using Common Lisp for so many applications implementors found no shortage of opportunities for innovation. One of the important characteristics of Lisp is its good support for experimental extension of the language:while Common Lisp has been stable, it has not stagnated.
