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 …

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 t…

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 t…

A bunch of things work in implementations, while but are not standard conforming.

actually, according to the LOOP syntax, the REPEAT clause has to follow the FOR clause...

With paredit in GNU Emacs: 1) place the cursor on the left parenthesis of the form 2) type paredit-wrap-round: M-( 3) type: if flag Doesn't appear to be overly complex.

see for example a structure editor for Lisp, ca. 1967, described by L Peter Deutsch: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&d...

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 …

yeah, what you say makes no sense, since it has nothing to do with reality.

A reputation has to be earned again and again.
