MacLisp - MIT AI Lab, late 1960s. 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
