Talk:NIL (programming language)

This page needs more names of some of the other people who worked for Joel Moses and did a lot of work on this project. I only say that because I worked with some of those people and I came to this page because I am trying to remember some of the names.
 * Well, there's myself (Bob Kerns, RWK) and Rick Bryan (RLB). We did the initial implementation of the runtime.
 * Jonathan Rees cites us here: https://mumble.net/~jar/tproject/
 * "John L. White, Rick Bryan, and Bob Kerns - taught JAR the craft of Lisp implementation:
 * and
 * "George Carrette didn't join NIL until long after I left. The 'soul' of NIL in my mind was John L White, Rick Bryan, and Bob Kerns. George and Glenn Burke (not sure of the timing) picked up the pieces after the original crew drifted away."
 * (Jonathan Rees (JAR) was my office mate while he was at MIT.)

NIL ("New Implementation of Lisp") is a dialect of Lisp. See: Glenn S. Burke, George J. Carrette, and Christopher R. Eliot. NIL Reference Manual corresponding to Release 0.286. Report MIT/LCS/TR-311, Laboratory for Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, January 1984.

There were actual shipped releases of NIL, that were created by people Joel Moses hired in 1982. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.1.134.64 (talk) 00:45, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
