LISP(ID:14/lis005)

A list processing system with emphasis on recursion and formalism 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1958
Published: 1956
Genus: Lazy Evaluation LISPs
Sammet category: String and List Processing

for LISt Processing.

John McCarthy et al, MIT late 1950s

Symbolic functional recursive language based on lambda- calculus, used especially for AI and symbolic math. Many dialects. Atoms and lists. Dynamic scope. Both programs and data are represented as list structures.

AI's mother tongue, a language based on the ideas of a) variable-length lists and trees as fundamental data types, and b) the interpretation of code as data and vice-versa. Invented by John McCarthy at MIT in the late 1950's. Accordingly, it has undergone considerable adaption. Modern variants are quite different in detail from the original LISP 1.5.  

A list processing system with emphasis on recursion and formalism. (Sammett 1966)
