   It is a language that still looks advanced compared to the state of the   
   art today. Trouble is, there is no currently workable Lisp “standard” as   
   such: first of all there is the “Lisp-1” (e.g. Scheme) versus “Lisp-2”   
   (e.g. Common Lisp, Elisp) schism; secondly the closest thing to a Lisp   
   “standard” was Common Lisp, and that is really old and full of baggage   
   from the time when non-Posix-like operating systems were common. Even   
   Scheme seems to have become fragmented.
