►Lesson Description: In this lesson we take a look at Lisp -- one of the oldest (perhaps second oldest) programming languages -- and it's still around! Lisp is the 'list processing' language, and it gives us a very powerful toolset with a simple syntax. The simple syntax however allows us to do powerful things like treat the code as data, do metaprogramming, and write fast code! Lisp is a fascinating look at a language that has had many commercial successes, but because of perhaps its 'different look' has not otherwise garnered wide scale adoption in the mainstream. That said, we'll look at some fun projects like Jak and Daxter briefly which used the GOAL lisp variant in this video (or rather, we'll look at OpenGOAL for those interested in seeing it). As always, let me know what resources/tools I missed that others should know about in the comments below!
