Rlisp was developed by the University of Utah.  It was developed to
support the REDUCE symbolic algebra system.  The idea is that long
math equations are easier to understand in infix notation.  Portable
Standard Lisp (PSL) was developed to support reduce.  The PSL
system source code was originally written in RLISP also, but has since
been converted to conventional Lisp syntax.  RLISP now is just a
parser to support REDUCE.  We agree, don't teach Lisp using RLISP.
