Line 49:
Although unsuccessful in meeting its goals as a used language, NIL was important in several ways. First, it brought together Jon L. White, [[Guy L. Steele Jr.]], and Richard P. Gabriel, who were later to define [[Common Lisp]].<ref name=Steele/> Second, Jonathan Rees worked on part of the NIL project during a year away from [[Yale University]]. On returning to Yale, he was hired by the [[computer science]] department to write a new Lisp, which became the optimizing, native code [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]] system named [[T (programming language)|T]]. In part, NIL begat this name, since "T is not NIL".<ref name=Shivers/>
