Abstract
LISP 2 is a new programming language designed for use in problems that require manipulation of highly complex data structures as well as lengthy arithmetic operations. Presently implemented on the AN/FSQ--32V computer at the System Development Corporation in Santa Monica, California, LISP 2 has two components: the language itself, and the programming system in which it is embedded. The system programs that define the language are accessible to and modifiable by the user; thus the user has an unparalleled ability to shape the language to suit his own needs and to utilize parts of the system as building blocks in constructing his own programs.
