LISP: 55th anniversary
Authored by: hardmath on Monday, June 03 2013 @ 08:37 AM EDT

Fall 1958, from John McCarthy's memoir, the origin of many good things

The occasion of dredging this up was a happy memory connected to oldSCO from the late 80's. The company where I worked had a machine running SCO XENIX with a LISP implementation, being used for a rule-based program for some law enforcement application.

Several of us went through the LISP tutorial, which I found particularly enjoyable for its interactive presentation of the bootstrapping nature of a LISP interpreter.

Many years later (yesterday) I had occasion to use one of the LISP primitives, cons (add an entry to the beginning of a list), in a snippet of Maxima (CAS) code. This is handy because Maxima is mainly written in LISP, and thus LISP can be called more or less immediately from the symbolic algebra environment to perform new operations.
