Older Lisps didn't tend to have strings as a separate datatype, they just used symbols and there was a function EXPLODE (and similar) for turning a symbol into a list of one-character symbols (or fixnums), and a corresponding IMPLODE (and similar) for combining them again, and that's how string processing was done. Vectors and hashes predate "real" strings in Lisp as far as I'm aware. |
