Multilisp was developed in the 1980s to address the need for parallel symbolic computation. It extended the Scheme dialect of Lisp with constructs for parallelism and synchronization, aiming to leverage multiprocessor systems for more efficient execution of complex computational tasks.
Multilisp
Multilisp is a parallel extension of the Lisp programming language designed to support concurrent symbolic computation, integrating constructs for parallel execution and synchronization, such as futures, enabling efficient execution on multiprocessor systems.

About Multilisp
Strengths of Multilisp included its ability to handle parallel computation and synchronization effectively, making it suitable for multiprocessor systems. Weaknesses involved complexity in debugging and managing concurrent processes. Competitors included other parallel programming languages like Concurrent Prolog and languages with parallel extensions such as Parallel Lisp.
