"...Sketchy LISP presents an overview of the Scheme programming language with strong emphasis on functional programming. Language elements and programming techniques are explained by means of simple examples which are used to form more complex programs..." --

"Lisp is a uniquely powerful programming language that, despite its academic reputation, is actually very practical. Land of Lisp brings the language into the real world, teaching Lisp by showing you how to write several complete Lisp-based games, including a text adventure, an evolution simulation, and a robot battle.

"Programming AI using standard programming languages, e.g., C/C++ or Java is not a good idea. It's too general purpose language. I'm considering to select between (Common) Lisp ..." -- Cool, but it's better on GNU systems ;-)

"...To do this, Mallavarapu used the programming language LISP, a language widely used in artificial intelligence research.

"If you are looking for a dry coding manual that re-hashes common-sense techniques in whatever langue du jour, this book is not for you. This book is about pushing the boundaries of what we know about programming. While this book teaches useful macro skills that can help solve your programming problems today and now, it has also been designed to be entertaining and inspiring.

"...That verbosity brings to mind the common complaint about XML, which is that it’s really Lisp syntax with angle brackets and a bunch of stuff inside them. Consequently Lisp is a natural way to deal with XML.

"David Moon has created a programming language called PLOT, for 'Programming Language for Old-Timers.' His introduction to it can be found at: http://users.rcn.com/david-moon/PLOT/ ..."

"He wasn’t on the program, but this morning’s keynote was given by Professor John McCarthy—the inventor of LISP and coiner of the term 'artificial intelligence.' This morning, he’s talking about Elephant 2000, a programming language designed for writing programs that interact with people. One of the things he points out that I find interesting is the idea that the compiler should generate required data structures without the user having to specify them..."

"So, the last few weeks I’ve been learning the Haskell programming language, and thought I’d share my thoughts on it. Haskell is a pure functional programming language that supports lazy evaluation (I’ll explain all that in a moment), which has been gaining popularity in some circles (and particularly among academia and computer lingusts).
