LISP

LISP is an acronym for List Processing Language, a high-level language used for artificial intelligence (AI) studies. Developed in the late 1950s by John McCarthy, LISP was used mostly by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers in their AI studies, almost to the point of over-use. An interactive language, LISP is user-friendly. Users put together related words, otherwise called "atoms," to build "lists," which in turn are complex and difficult commands. These "atoms," are formed by means of expanding parentheses icons. The links contained herein offer information about LISP.
