Common Lisp Condition System

[edit]

By his own account, KMP did not invent the Common Lisp condition system. See also: http://www.nhplace.com/kent/CL/Revision-18.txt, and http://www.nhplace.com/kent/PFAQ/kents-lisp-contributions.html

I'll stay clear of editing my own entry, but I will say it's perhaps more fair to cite me as either or both of chair of ad hoc group (part of X3J13) that designed the "Error and Condition System" and author of the proposal document that was ultimately adopted, Revision-18.txt cited by the unnamed commenter in the paragraph I'm replying to. Citing CLHS credits would probably resolve whatever dispute anyone has and reduce this to the kinds of references Wikipedia policies like. I also personally wrote the original reference implementation for Revision-18 (i.e., Lisp code) that matched the proposal and circulated that, which became the basis of several implementations.
