Try Common Lisp. The language has an ANSI standard, published in 1994. So the base has been stable and fixed for the past 25 years. A lot of Lisp code that old or even older works perfectly fine on a current CL implementation.

Not only that, the "Common" in Common Lisp is a reference to a standardization of several existing dialects, so a lot of Lisp code from the 1960s and the 1970s will run without any modifications.
