(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

MacLisp is a dialect of the Lisp programming language. It originated at MIT's Project MAC in the late 1960s and based on Lisp 1.5. MacLisp initially ran on DEC PDP-10 computers, was used to implement the Macsyma symbolic algebra program, and was in widespread use in the artificial intelligence research community through the early 1980s.

Lisp Machine Lisp is a direct descendant of MacLisp.

MacLisp A dialect of Lisp developed at MIT AI Lab in 1966, known for its efficiency and programming facilities. Later used by Project MAC, Mathlab and Macsyma. Ran on the PDP-10. Introduced the LEXPR (a function with variable arity), macros, arrays, and CATCH/THROW. Was once one of two main branches of LISP (the other being Interlisp). In 1981 Common LISP was begun in an effort to combine the best features of both. ["MACLISP Reference Manual", D.A. Moon , TR Project MAC, MIT 1974]. Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
