Definition of Lisp |
Lisp (historically, LISP) is a family of computer
programming languages fully parenthesized Polish prefix notation.
Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level
programming language in widespread use today; only Fortran is older (by
one year). Like Fortran, Lisp has changed a great deal since its early
days, and a number of dialects have existed over its history. Today, the
most widely known general-purpose Lisp dialects are Common Lisp and
Scheme. Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation
for computer programs. It quickly became the favored programming
language for artificial intelligence (AI) research. As one of the
earliest programming languages, Lisp pioneered many ideas in computer
science, including tree data structures, automatic storage management,
dynamic typing, conditionals, higher-order functions, recursion, and the
self-hosting compiler.
The name LISP derives from "LISt Processor". Linked lists are one of
Lisp's major data structures, and Lisp source code is itself made up of
lists. As a result, Lisp programs can manipulate source code as a data
structure, giving rise to the macro systems that allow programmers to
create new syntax or new domain-specific languages embedded in Lisp.

Spells on Lispp

Anyone who has ever learned to program in Lisp will tell you it is very
different from any other programming language. It is different in lots
of surprising ways- This comic book will let you find out how Lisp's
unique design makes it so powerful! |

Emacs Lisp Tutorial
|
This directory contains a simple Emacs Lisp tutorial, released under GNU
GPL, presented in several lessons. After going through the lessons, you
should be familiar enough with Emacs Lisp to read and write programs of
moderate complexity, and to continue your studies independently. |

Wikipedia. Introduction to New Lisp
|
Welcome to this introduction to newLISP! You'll find newLISP easy to
learn and powerful, combining some of the power and elegance of classic
LISP with the facilities of a modern scripting language, such as regular
expressions, network functions, Unicode support, multitasking, and many
others. This book is a straightforward and simple description of the
basics of the language. You should be familiar with using a text editor,
and ideally you'll have done a bit of scripting before, but previous
programming experience or knowledge of LISP isn't required. I hope it's
enough to get you started, and ready to start exploring the real power
of newLISP. |
