Acornsoft Lisp is an implementation of Lisp.
Other implementations of Lisp.
Acornsoft Lisp is a dialect and implementation of Lisp developed in the early 1980s for the BBC Micro and related machines.
In the original, 1980s version, all built-in defined names were in upper case; however, versions that use lower case instead have become available.
It is a very small Lisp. The only data types are lists, symbols, 16-bit integers, and the types that represent built-in functions and special forms. Even basic list-processing functions such as length, append, reverse, and equal are not built in. It can nonetheless be used to write interesting programs.
