The company explains Lisp is one of the first high-level programming languages and still in widespread use today.

The most widely known general-purpose Lisp dialects are Common Lisp and Scheme.

Allegro CL is the Common Lisp language developed and sold by Franz. Allegro CL is described as a dynamic artificial intelligence development system said to be especially well-suited for enterprisewide, machine intelligence development.
