Related QuestionsWhy doesn't Common Lisp have continuations?
Frequently Asked Questions for comp.lang.lispContinuations are a great theoretical tool; if a language has first-class, multiply invocable continuations then one can build threads, exceptions, coroutines, and the kitchen sink on top. However, there is an implementation burden with continuations; supporting first-class, multiply invocable continuations complicates things tremendously for the Lisp implementor.

Related QuestionsWhat is the difference between Scheme and Common Lisp?
Kantrowitz & Margolin comp.lang.lisp FAQScheme is a dialect of Lisp that stresses conceptual elegance and simplicity. It is specified in R4RS and IEEE standard P1178. (See the Scheme FAQ for details on standards for Scheme.) Scheme is much smaller than Common Lisp; the specification is about 50 pages, compared to Common Lisp's 1300 page draft standard. (See question [4-10] for details on standards for Common Lisp.) Advocates of Scheme often find it amusing that the Scheme standard is shorter than the index to CLtL2.
Related QuestionsWhy does Common Lisp have "#'"?
Kantrowitz & Margolin comp.lang.lisp FAQis a macro-character which expands #'FOO to (FUNCTION FOO). Symbols in Lisp have two bindings, one for values and one for functions, allowing them to represent both variables and functions, depending on context. #'FOO accesses FOO's lexical function binding in a context where the value interpretation would normally occur. #' is also used to create lexical closures for lambda expressions.

Kantrowitz & Margolin comp.lang.lisp FAQWhen Apple Computer acquired Coral Software in January 1989, they re-released Coral's Allegro Common Lisp and its optional modules as Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp (now just Macintosh Common Lisp). Coral's other product, Pearl Lisp, was discontinued at that time. Pearl Lisp provides a subset of the functionality of MACL 1.3 and is not even fully CLtL1-compatible (e.g., the implementation of defstruct is different). Despite rumors to the contrary, Pearl Lisp is not and never was public domain.

informationYes. A specific agreement between the two ISO Technical Committees (TC 176 and TC 207) has set up a joint working group to prepare a single standard on auditing activities, both for quality management and environmental management systems. This new standard (ISO 19011) will replace the existing ISO 10011 and ISO 14010/14011/14012 documents. The planned publication date for this new standard is the third quarter of 2002.

Frequently Asked Questions for comp.lang.lispScheme is a member of the greater family of Lisp languages, assuming that is considered to include others like Dylan and Emacs Lisp. The design of Scheme predates the ANSI Common Lisp standard, and some CL features such as lexical scoping may be considered to have been derived from Scheme. More detailed comparative discussions don't generally prove very productive; those that are interested in discussing Scheme should first consider discussing it in comp.lang.
