Common Lisp was standardised by ANSI in 1994 and remains one of the most powerful general-purpose languages. Its macro system operates on the abstract syntax tree, enabling language-level abstractions impossible in other languages. SBCL produces highly optimised native code. Common Lisp was the dominant AI language of the 1980s and is still used in production at companies like Grammarly.
