Can't say what and Interlisp did, but the MIT Lisp Machine and here the commercial variant Genera. Files are versioned. The Lisp machine file system has versions (same for DEC VMS and a few other file systems). Nowadays the file versio

That has been done in the past and was never widely supported. But the landscape is now slightly different. One approach might be to use ASDF (the most popular systems management tool), which then would need to be upgraded to use versions

There is already confusion. Things are different and the same words (executable, native, image, ...) mean slightly different things. In the CL world it is usually relatively easy to create an executable. For example in SBCL I would just run

all four now use lexical scope. Scheme also supports dynamic scope. 1-lisp or 2-lisp is also a difference, though all support lexical closures and function objects. Racket now has a variant without s-expressions. That's also a huge dif
