'''Common Lisp''', commonly abbreviated '''CL''', is a dialect of the [[Lisp]] programming language, standardised by [[ANSI]] X3.226-1994. Developed to standardize the divergent variants of Lisp which predated it, it is not an implementation but a language specification. Several implementations of the Common Lisp standard are available, including commercial products and [[open source]] software.

Common Lisp is a general-purpose programming language, in contrast to Lisp variants such as Emacs Lisp and AutoLISP which are embedded extension languages in particular products. Unlike many earlier Lisps, Common Lisp (like Scheme) uses lexical variable scope.
