A dialect of Lisp, standardised by ANSI X3.226-1994.


One of the two varieties of Lisp currently

widely used as languages in their own right

(the other is Scheme;

emacs lisp and AutoLisp are widely used

as embedded languages in particular products).


Common Lisp is a multi-paradigm programming language that:


  • Supports programming techniques such as imperative, functional and object-oriented programming.
  • Is dynamically typed, but with optional type declarations that can improve efficiency or safety.
  • Is extensible through standard features such as macros and reader macros.
