*Lisp (or StarLisp) is a programming language, a dialect of the language Lisp.[1] It was conceived of in 1985 by two employees of the Thinking Machines Corporation, Cliff Lasser and Steve Omohundro, as a way to provide an efficient yet high-level language for programming the nascent Connection Machine (CM).
