Lisp

This category holds links to software, web, and ftp sites pertaining to the Lisp programming language in any form: Common Lisp, CLOS, ISLISP, Logo, Scheme, ZetaLisp, etc.

The Lisps are among the oldest programming languages. Of computer languages still in wide use today, only FORTRAN is older. Lisp is mainly a functional language, usually interpreted, though many versions compile.

LISP is an acronym for LISt Processing, invented by John McCarthy in the late 1950's as a formalism for reasoning on the use of recursion equations as a model for computation.

Lisp has evolved with the field of Computer Science, always putting the best ideas from the field into practical use. In 1994, Common Lisp became the first ANSI standard to incorporate object-oriented programming. There is a Lisp variant for every taste, and they generally support several programming models: procedural + functional + object-oriented.

"Lisp is a programmable programming language." -John Foderaro

Lisp: Good News,Bad News, How to Win Big
Lisp has done quite well over the last ten years: becoming nearly standardized, forming the basis of a commercial sector, achieving excellent performance, having good environments, able to deliver applications. Yet the Lisp community has failed to do as well as it could have.
newLISP
General purpose scripting Lisp dialect for FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Cygwin, Linux, Solaris, Win32; close to Scheme but with dynamic scoping; GUI version has IDE with editors and source level debugger, Tcl/Tk frontend. [Open Source, GPL]
Screamer Tool Repository

PLisp
A language that takes its overall syntax from Common Lisp and its operators and datatypes from PostScript. The PLisp compiler translates PLisp to PostScript, which can then be run on any PostScript engine.
pLISP
An experimental implementation of reflective functional programming. It is built as a hybrid architecture using a simple Lisp interpreter for driving the compiler and wrapping calls to the Graph-reduction VM.
