A community for the Lisp family of programming languages.

Lisp (historically LISP) is a family of programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized prefix notation. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language. Only Fortran is older, by one year.

Friday Social is back! So we know we are all Lisp programmers here and we love the language and use it.

But I am sure some of us work with other languages too. Like I have to work with C, C++, Python and a number of other languages to work on different projects. I am sure some of you do too.

So the questions for this Friday Social are:

What Lisp programming languages do you use?
What non-Lisp programming languages do you use?
What is your favorite Lisp programming language? Why?
What is your favorite non-Lisp programming language? Why?
What is that one thing about your favorite non-Lisp language that you wish to see in your favorite Lisp language?

Happy Friday!
