This article gives a brief introduction to BIDDLE. The authors' aim here is to argue that the basic principle of BIDDLE are quite straightforward and that they can, indeed, design an architecture to directly execute Lisp in parallel. As mentioned in the introduction, important and interesting issues like side effect handling, object storage, environment maintenance etc. are not dealt with in great enough details.
