T is a new dialect of Lisp comparable in power to other recent dialects such as Lisp Machine Lisp and Common Lisp, but fundamentally more similar in spirit to Scheme than to traditional Lisps. The current system, version 2, is in production use at Yale and elsewhere, in AI and systems research and in education. A number of large programs have been built in T, and the implementation is acceptably stable and robust. Yale and Harvard successfully taught undergraduate courses this semester in T (Harvard used Sussman and Abelson's 6.001 course). Much work remains to be done; we are currently expanding the programming environment and improving performance. Our next release is planned for sometime this fall. Please contact me directly if you're interested in getting the distribution.
