Hans Hübner: Reanimating VAX LISP (6:15 mark) -205.175.118.224 (talk) 23:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC)...

thinking about Lisp and Scheme. Lisps on various hardware platforms like the VAX, Apollo, and even IBM and CDC mainframes influenced Common Lisp, which may...

components (e.g., the filesystem) and for the CUSPs (the utility programs). The VAX 8800 (Nautilus) and 88x0 (Polarstar) consoles were both mostly programmed...

bytecode more than VAX machine code. (And there are plenty of software implementations of VAX.) But also, I suspect the reason VAX went away, was that...

editors. It's an interesting editor. Elisp can be extended to work like common lisp. Hemlock takes the opposite aproach. As there's already a Wikipedia article...

that Lisp is multi-paradigm. These days, when people say Lisp, they generally mean Common Lisp, which most certainly is not functional (the standard doesn't...

programming languages (which are all shell script languages), just like Common Lisp and Scheme are different programming languages, even though they provide...

this option. Common Lisp has this feature for example to allow to write source code in different bases (for example a precursor of Common Lisp used base...

boundaries, to make it even easier. Before VAX, DEC liked octal, and instructions with fields on 3 bit boundaries. VAX uses hex and fields on four bit boundaries...

language does not compare itself to Pascal. Why not Pascal vs. Snobol ? Lisp ? The entire idea of listing Pascal vs. Language X seems to me to invite...

whether the procedure needs the result of the evaluation or not. C, C#, Common Lisp, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk are other languages that always pass arguments...

that are hard to take advantage of in C. That is, compared to BASIC and LISP. All serious numerical processing was done in FORTRAN until the development...

compilation. And the only nice feature Java has is some metaprogramming (I prefer Lisp much more for this purpose and it also can be embaded with C/C++). Also C/C++...

assembler instructions, and PDP-10/MACRO-10 call them all pseudo-ops. And VAX/Macro seems to call them assembler directives. Gah4 (talk) 06:31, 29 November...

provide a reliable source for that. Back in those days, servers were built on VAX and other proprietary processors. Mainframes too, were big then. If I am...

seen.[citation needed] John McCarthy, the language designer of LISP disagreed, since LISP was based on modifiable code[citation needed], he did not like...

Comparison of Pascal and C to conform with standards? Also, I believe MirrorVax was correct in his category changes -- this is not an article on a programming...

irrelevant. My wiki entries try to highlight some of this old software. See PC-LISP, As Easy As, Turbo Debugger, WordPerfect 4.1, and others. I've added screen...
