Lisp (List Processing)
Lisp (list processing) is the second-oldest programming language in existence that has inspired many other modern programming languages. Lispʻs program code is written in S-expressions, which are parenthesized lists. This coding syntax (rules that define the structure of a programming language) is quite easy to learn, making it popular amongst new programmers. Lisp is commonly used in the technology industry to program artificial intelligence technologies.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Lisp (List Processing)
Since it is much easier to write source code in Lisp than other programming languages, many tech startups often use Lisp to develop their software solutions. This speeds up the software development process, helping them code new software features faster than market competitors that use more modern programming languages to develop software programs.
