[net.lang.lisp] LISP on personals

krm (12/08/82)

I'm looking for a personal computer sometime next semester but I think that
I need lisp.  It seems I've become addicted.  Does anyone have opinions on
currently available lisp systems?  I have seen promo literature for Life-
boat's stiff upper and mu/LISP, and Datapoint? app-L-LISP and Datapoint?'s
version of this for the Atari.  Why doesn't someone use a LISP instead of a
BASIC as a first interpreter for their hardware?  Isn't LISP more intuitive
and powerful for about the same amount of resident space?
