@mdhughes @screwlisp CLU started in 1973, before the Vax was introduced (1977). Started on the PDP-10 (ITS), and later there was a PDP-11 Unix port, which I guess was pretty widespread. (History of CLU: https://publications.csail.mit.edu/lcs/pubs/pdf/MIT-LCS-TR-561.pdf ) Liskov oral history interview: https://infinite.mit.edu/video/barbara-liskov/ (video, has transcript). A friend once remarked at hearing disgust in Liskov’s voice when saying “…but it’s… *Lisp*”. I wonder what she thought of Scheme — that may have been the topic that prompted her reaction — Scheme, I guess, started in 1975, so the development would have been happening in the same building, though probably on different floors.
