Abstract

The T language is a derivative of SCHEME LISP, intended to be used for teaching T to individuals who have some programming background in languages other than LISP. T was developed at the Yale University Computer Science Department and Artificial intelligence Project. The author cites several serious applications which have been written at Yale using T, including "text editors, circuit design tools, graphics editors, compilers, and numerous artificial intelligence programs." [Slade, p. 2] The author does not explain the reason for yet another dialect of LISP, except to extoll T's extensions of that language. As well as praise T, Slade offers code to enable users of Common LISP and SCHEME to create an imitation of T. Several avenues are outlined for obtaining T on a number of popular computers, also, including ARPANET addresses.
