Etymology of INTERLISP

The word "Interlisp" is a combination of "intermediate" and "Lisp".

Lisp is a programming language that was developed in the late 1950s and is known for its distinctive use of parentheses. It was originally named after "List Processing" due to its primary focus on manipulating lists.

Interlisp, on the other hand, was a dialect of Lisp that was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was known for its interactive and real-time programming capabilities.

The term "intermediate" likely refers to the fact that Interlisp was developed as an intermediary language between earlier versions of Lisp and more advanced Lisp systems. It aimed to provide a more interactive and user-friendly environment for Lisp users, hence the name "Interlisp".
