Programming Languages
Symbolics provided several programming languages for use with Genera:
- ZetaLisp, the Symbolics version of Lisp Machine Lisp
- Common Lisp in several versions: Symbolics Common Lisp, Future Common Lisp (ANSI Common Lisp), CLtL1
- Symbolics Pascal, a version of Pascal written in Lisp
- Symbolics C, a version of C written in Lisp
- Symbolics Fortran, a version of Fortran written in Lisp
Symbolics Common Lisp provides most of the Common Lisp standard with a huge number of extensions (many of those coming from ZetaLisp).

Famous quotes containing the words programming and/or languages:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“The trouble with foreign languages is, you have to think before your speak.”
—Swedish proverb, trans. by Verne Moberg.
