Richard P. Gabriel (born 1949) is an American computer scientist known for his work in computing related to the programming language Lisp, and especially Common Lisp.His best known work was a 1990 essay "Lisp: Good News, Bad News, How to Win Big", which introduced the phrase Worse is Better, [1] and his set of benchmarks for Lisp, termed Gabriel Benchmarks, published in 1985 as Performance and ...
In 1976, with Steele, he wrote the first (TECO-based) version of the Emacs text editor, [4] [5] and in 1978 with Daniel Weinreb he coauthored the manual for the Lisp Machine, known as the chine nual. With Howard Cannon, he developed Flavors , a system for doing object-oriented programming with multiple inheritance on the Lisp Machine.
Statically and dynamically scoped Lisp dialect developed by a loose formation of industrial and academic Lisp users and developers across Europe; the standardizers intended to create a new Lisp "less encumbered by the past" (compared to Common Lisp), and not so minimalist as Scheme, and to integrate the object-oriented programming paradigm well ...
The two variants of Lisp most significant in the development of Scheme were both developed at MIT: LISP 1.5 [4] developed by McCarthy and others, and Maclisp [5] – developed for MIT's Project MAC, a direct descendant of LISP 1.5. which ran on the PDP-10 and Multics systems.
X3J13 is the name of a technical committee which was part of the International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS, then named X3).The X3J13 committee was formed in 1986 to draw up an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Common Lisp standard based on the first edition of the book Common Lisp the Language (also termed CLtL, or CLtL1), by Guy L. Steele Jr., which was ...
He can often be found on the Usenet newsgroup comp.lang.lisp, [6] where he is involved in discussions about Lisp and computer programming, and insider perspectives on Lisp evolution and Common Lisp standardization.
evolution of a language; history of language features and concepts; classes of languages for application-oriented languages and paradigm-oriented languages; The submitted and invited languages must have been documented by 1982. They also must have been in use or taught by 1985. As in HOPL I, there was a rigorous multi-stage review and revision ...
Alice Hartley (1937–2017) was an American computer scientist and business woman. Hartley worked on several dialects of Lisp, implementing multiple parts of Interlisp, maintaining Macintosh Common Lisp, and developing concepts in computer science and programming language design still in use today.
