A self interpreter for BaLinda Lisp

C. K. Yuen, Weng‐Fai Wong

Abstract

An intepreter for BaLinda Lisp, a parallel Lisp dialect designed for the Biddle machine[1], is presented. The intepreter is itself written in BaLinda Lisp, and is not at present executable. However, it constitutes a detailed specification of the language and a description of how to execute it, and will be used in subsequent implementations on Biddle and other computers. A number of system primitives required to implement the language have also been specified.
