Lisp Machine Lisp is a dialect of Lisp and a direct descendant of Maclisp, developed in the mid to late 1970s as the system programming language of the Lisp machines built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It had more influence on the design of Common Lisp than any other dialect. The language later split into three lines: Symbolics named its variant ZetaLisp, while Lisp Machines, Inc. and then Texas Instruments, with the TI Explorer, shared a code base that differed from the version kept at the MIT AI Lab by Richard Stallman and others. Its features included the Flavors object system for object-oriented programming, dynamic binding with closures supported through a special construct, integers read and printed in octal by default, and division that gave rational numbers for integers and decimals for floating point values. Its reference, the Lisp Machine Manual, was nicknamed the Chine Nual after the way its title was printed across the covers.
