He also wrote the first two implementations of Lisp for the IBM 704 after having a class about the (until then) theoretical language. It was Russell who realized that the concept of Universal Function s could be applied to the language; by implementing the Lisp universal evaluator in a lower-level language, it became possible to create the Lisp Interpreter (previous development work on the language had focused on Compiling the language). To simplify implementation, he developed the S-expression notation, creating the first Homoiconic language in the process. He invented the Continuation to solve a problem for one of the users of his Lisp implementation. He holds Bachelor Of Science , Master Of Science , and Engineer degrees in EECS from MIT . At one time Steve worked for a company founded by Nolan Bushnell after Atari . Steve has stated that it is unclear how his nickname "Slug" came about. EXTERNAL LINKS
