List Processing – Lisp (or LISP) is the second oldest high-level programming language after Fortran developed by John McCarthy in 1958 while he was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). LISP is a commonly used language for artificial intelligence (AI) programming. Lisp has changed since its early days, and many dialects have existed over its history. Today, the best known general-purpose Lisp dialects are Common Lisp and Scheme.
