It all started in February 2018 when I've written the first version of a Lisp interpreter. You can
still see the code on [CodePen](https://codepen.io/jcubic/pen/gvvzdp). Then I moved the [development
to GitHub](https://github.com/jcubic/lips) and named the project LIPS. The first release (version
0.2.0) is marked as Mar 2018. The reason why I created another lisp in JavaScript was because I
wanted to have an Emacs in browser that would have a real lisp inside. That's why LIPS had dynamic
scope as an option. GNU Emacs use Elisp that for a long time had dynamic scope. So I was planing to
emulate that.

At the beginning it was Lisp based on Scheme, but at one point after version
[0.20.1 dated as Jul 1, 2020](https://github.com/jcubic/lips/releases/tag/0.20.1), I've started
adding features on devel branch and decided that I want a full Scheme implementation. But it turns out
that there were way too many breaking changes to release the next version. So I decided that I will
release it as beta-1.0. Since then, LIPS keep introducing new Beta versions. You can see the

[latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/jcubic/lips/releases).
