  Lisp
       
           LISt Processing language.
       
          (Or mythically "Lots of Irritating Superfluous Parentheses").
          Artificial Intelligence's mother tongue, a symbolic,
          functional, recursive language based on the ideas of
          lambda-calculus, variable-length lists and trees as
          fundamental data types and the interpretation of code as data
          and vice-versa.
       
          Data objects in Lisp are lists and atoms.  Lists may contain
          lists and atoms.  Atoms are either numbers or symbols.
          Programs in Lisp are themselves lists of symbols which can be
          treated as data.  Most implementations of Lisp allow functions
          with side-effects but there is a core of Lisp which is
          purely functional.
       
          All Lisp functions and programs are expressions that return
          values; this, together with the high memory use of Lisp, gave
          rise to Alan Perlis's famous quip (itself a take on an Oscar
          Wilde quote) that "Lisp programmers know the value of
          everything and the cost of nothing".
       
          The original version was LISP 1, invented by John McCarthy
           at MIT in the late 1950s.  Lisp is
          actually older than any other high level language still in
          use except Fortran.  Accordingly, it has undergone
          considerable change over the years.  Modern variants are quite
          different in detail.  The dominant HLL among hackers until
          the early 1980s, Lisp now shares the throne with C.  See
          languages of choice.
       
          One significant application for Lisp has been as a proof by
          example that most newer languages, such as COBOL and Ada,
          are full of unnecessary crocks.  When the Right Thing has
          already been done once, there is no justification for
          bogosity in newer languages.

  LISP n. [from `LISt Processing language', but mythically from `Lots of
     Irritating Superfluous Parentheses'] 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 1950s, it is actually older
     than any other HLL still in use except FORTRAN. Accordingly, it has
     undergone considerable adaptive radiation over the years; modern
     variants are quite different in detail from the original LISP 1.5. The
     dominant HLL among hackers until the early 1980s, LISP now shares the
     throne with C. Its partisans claim it is the only language that is
     truly beautiful. See languages of choice.
  
     All LISP functions and programs are expressions that return values;
     this, together with the high memory utilization of LISPs, gave rise to
     Alan Perlis's famous quip (itself a take on an Oscar Wilde quote) that
