The acronym DWIM stands for D o W hat I M ean . It is a humorous way of describing a user s feeling that a computer function should work the way the user wants instead of the actual result that they told it to do, but did not want. The term has been in use for decades. ref Donald E. Walker, Lewis M. Norton Eds. Proceedings of the 1st International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Washington, DC, p 715, May 1969. ref Anticipating variations in the way a user or a programmer expresses themselves has a long history. Before 1984, Warren Teitelman wrote routines to correct errors automatically or with minor user intervention . ref http www.opost.com dlm tenex hbook.html Opost.com ref Following in the Lisp programming language LISP tradition, Emacs has a function code comment dwim code that comments out a selected region if uncommented, or uncomments it, when already commented out.

SmartList was and still is the only mailing list manager that attempts to process un subscription requests in natural English and misspelled English language. It has a DWIM Do What I Mean parser. SmartList is the only mailing list manager that uses fuzzy matching to accommodate for typos and derived email addresses. SmartList was the first mailing list manager to use parallelised ordered batches in order to speed up the delivery process and let it scale better for extra large mailing lists.

Interlisp also seen with a variety of capitalizations was a programming environment built around a version of the Lisp programming language . Interlisp development began in 1967 at Bolt, Beranek and Newman in Cambridge, Massachusetts as BBN LISP , which ran on PDP 10 machines running the TOPS 20 TENEX operating system. When Daniel G Bobrow Danny Bobrow , Warren Teitelman and Ronald Kaplan moved from BBN to Xerox PARC , it was renamed Interlisp. Interlisp became a popular Lisp development tool for AI researchers at Stanford University and elsewhere in the DARPA community. Interlisp was notable for the integration of interactive development tools into the environment, such as a debugger , an automatic correction tool for simple errors DWIM ref Teitelman, Warren, Do What I Mean the programmer s assistant, Computers and Automation, pp. 8 11, April 1972. ref do what I mean , and analysis tools. Adaptations At Xerox PARC , there was an early attempt to define a virtual machine to facilitate porting, known as the Interlisp virtual machine . However, this wasn t useful as a basis for porting. L. Peter Deutsch Peter Deutsch defined a byte coded instruction set for Interlisp, and implemented it as a microcoded emulator for the Xerox Alto . This was subsequently ported to a series of workstation designs produced by Xerox for both their own use and for commercial exploitation, including the Xerox 1100 Dolphin , 1108 Dandelion , 1109 the floating point enabled Dandetiger , Xerox Daybreak 1186 Daybreak , and 1132 Dorado . Interlisp implementations for these were known collectively as Interlisp D. Commercially, these were sold as Lisp Machine s and branded as Xerox AI Workstations the same designs, but with different software, were also sold under different names e.g. when running the Viewpoint system, the 1186 Daybreak was sold as the Xerox 6085. Releases of Interlisp D were named according to a musical theme, which ended with Koto, Lyric, and Medley. Later versions included an i ... more details
Warren Teitelman is a computer scientist since 1960 to date, who contributed to and invented many technologies like Interlisp . Early career and ARPANET Warren Teitelman presented a novel scheme for real time character recognition in his master s thesis submitted in 1963 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT . A rectangle, in which a character is to be drawn, is divided into two parts, one shaded and the other unshaded. Using this division a computer converts characters into ternary vectors a list composed of 3 values, 0, 1, or in the following way. If a pen enters the shaded region, a 1 is added to the vector. When the unshaded region is entered, a 0 is appended. He started as DARPA ARPA Principal Investigator from 1968 to 1978, and was responsible for the design and development of BBN LISP at BBN Technologies Bolt, Beranek, and Newman . He used the ARPANET to support users of BBN Lisp at Stanford University Stanford , SRI International SRI , University of Southern California USC , and Carnegie Mellon University CMU in 1970, and has been named an official ARPANET Pioneer , for his contributions to its development and growth. He developed a program on the SDS 940 for Bob Kahn that allowed experimentation with various routing policies in order to see the effect on network traffic and real time monitoring of the packets. Clarify me date November 2008 Interlisp and D Lisp He worked as Senior Scientist at PARC company Xerox PARC from 1972 until 1984 during this time he designed Interlisp . Bill Joy has acknowledged that many of the ideas in the C shell were inspired by and copied from Interlisp. In Interlisp, Teitelman invented DWIM Do What I Mean , a function that attempted to correct many common typing errors. It was a package of Lisp routines which would correct errors automatically or with minor user intervention thus making the code do what the user meant, not what they wrote. In 1977, he and Bob Sproull implemented the first client server Windowing system w ... more details
