I miss the those times when using a computer meant ‘programming on a computer’, and programming on a computer meant trying to find your foot on any of a dozen languages popping left and right.
- palad1n 3y agoThere was Lisp on an Atari ST?
- fuzztester 3y agoThere was even a Lisp on DOS.

- coldtea 3y agoThere's even one for 8-bit Ataris: Interlisp[28] – developed at BBN Technologies for PDP-10 systems running the TENEX operating system, later adopted as a "West coast" Lisp for the Xerox Lisp machines as InterLisp-D. A small version called "InterLISP 65" was published for the 6502-based Atari 8-bit family computer line. For quite some time, Maclisp and InterLisp were strong competitors.
- bluGill 3y agoLogo was a very popular language at the time, and is clearly Lisp at heart.
- tjalfi 3y agoMost 8 and 16-bit microcomputers at the time had a Lisp.
- rjsw 3y agoCambridge Lisp was available from MetaComCo. I ported Franz Lisp to the Atari ST.
- tempodox 3y agoIndeed there was. The first Lisp I saw was a port of David Betz's xlisp to the Atari ST (in the 1980s). The port was buggy and I didn't have the sources, so I needed to get started on writing my own interpreter. The rest is history, as they say.
