How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2889632 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: Clojure
Context triple: [Spacemacs, supportsProgrammingLanguage, Clojure]

A. Lisp programming language
Lisp is a pioneering high-level programming language, especially influential in artificial intelligence research and known for its symbolic processing and distinctive parenthesized syntax.
B. Racket
Racket is a modern, multi-paradigm programming language in the Lisp/Scheme family, designed for language-oriented programming, scripting, and education.
C. Common Lisp
Common Lisp is a powerful, multi-paradigm dialect of the Lisp programming language standardised in the 1980s, known for its rich macro system, dynamic typing, and suitability for large-scale, extensible software systems.
D. Chez Scheme
Chez Scheme is a high-performance, optimizing implementation of the Scheme programming language widely used for both research and production systems.
E. Scheme
Scheme is a minimalist, lexically scoped dialect of the Lisp programming language known for its elegant functional programming model and powerful macro system.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
