During the 1980s and 1990s, a great effort was made to unify the work on new Lisp dialects (mostly successors to [[Maclisp]] such as [[ZetaLisp]] and NIL (New Implementation of Lisp)) into a single language. The new language, [[Common Lisp]], was somewhat compatible with the dialects it replaced (the book ''[[Common Lisp the Language]]'' notes the compatibility of various constructs). In 1994, [[ANSI]] published the Common Lisp standard, "ANSI X3.226-1994 Information Technology Programming Language Common Lisp".
