Common Lisp the Language is an influential book by Guy L. Steele about Common Lisp.

History

Before standardization

The first edition (Digital Press, 1984; ISBN 0-932376-41-X; 465 pages) served as the basis for the ANSI Common Lisp standard. It was written by Guy L. Steele, Jr., Scott Fahlman, Richard P. Gabriel, David A. Moon, and Daniel L. Weinreb.

During standardization

The second edition (Digital Press, 1990; ISBN 1-55558-041-6; 1029 pages) reflected the then-current status of the standardization process and documented important new features such as Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), the loop macro and conditions. It also has a chapter on series and generators.

After standardization

The ANSI Common Lisp standard was published in 1994 and differs from the language described in Common Lisp the Language, second Edition. Series and generators are also not part of the ANSI Common Lisp standard.
