  MacLisp 
 
  A  dialect  of  {Lisp}  developed  at  {MIT}  AI  Lab  in  1966,  known 
  for  its  efficiency  and  programming  facilities.  Later  used  by 
  {Project  MAC},  {Mathlab}  and  {Macsyma}.  Ran  on  the  {PDP-10}. 
  Introduced  the  {LEXPR}  (a  function  with  variable  {arity}), 
  {macro}s,  {array}s,  and  {CATCH/THROW}.  Was  once  one  of  two 
  main  branches  of  LISP  (the  other  being  {Interlisp}).  In  1981 
  {Common  LISP}  was  begun  in  an  effort  to  combine  the  best 
  features  of  both
