Butterfly Lisp



At BBN, we are basing our implementation of a Lisp for the Butterfly
multiprocessor on MIT's implementation of Scheme. Although ultimately
the surface language the users of our system will see will be Common Lisp,
we chose Scheme in part because of its relative simplicity and conceptual
cleanliness, making it a good setting for working out parallel processing
issues.
