'''Lisp''' or '''LISP''' (originally an acronym for '''LIS'''t '''P'''rocessing) was one of the first high-level languages, invented in 1958 by John McCarthy. It had many descendants: the two major freestanding dialects still in use today are [[Common Lisp]] and [[Scheme]]. Other dialects of Lisp are used as scripting languages in applications, most notably [[Emacs Lisp]], [[AutoLISP]], and [[Guile]]. |
