A Lisp Machine is a Lisp-based computer that was popular in the earlier days of computing. They fell out of favor once Ccame onto the scene.

Typically the operating system, from top to bottom, except for maybe some hardware-level code, is written in the same programming language. Lisp Machines were tightly coupled to their hardware, as their hardware was optimized for running Lisp.

Some have said that Emacsmay count as a modern example of a Lisp Machine.
