#795 — Turning an Apple II into a Lisp machine

Here's an interesting write-up on developing a Lisp
interpreter for an Apple II (via Hacker News). The
first part documents the process of using the cassette
ports to upload programs to the Apple. Part 2 will
have more details about the Lisp interpreter itself.

A master disk I received when I purchased a Disk II drive for my Apple II+ 30 years ago included a Lisp interpreter. I knew nothing about Lisp so didn't use it. I assumed it was included on the DOS 3.3 master disks ? Isn't it readily available somewhere? I can dig out that floppy and image it if it's a rarity.

There was microlisp, an integer basic hack. You could find it at MacGUI.

Indeed.  And so slow and space constrained that it can only be regarded as
a programming "demo", not a real "implementation".

There were a few Lisps available for the Apple II
(though none was supplied on any System Master disk,
as far as I know). 

I remember a book with a title similar to "Artificial
Intelligence Experiments in Basic" that included a 
very simple (and very slow) Lisp interpreter written
in BASIC.

MuSIMP was a Lisp dialect (with highly non-standard
syntax) that was used to implement the MuMATH symbolic
algebra package.

John McCarthy's Lisp (with autoquote) from 1960 in fifty-nine lines of
Applesoft BASIC...
