I assume there's no official hard definition of what it means to be a Lisp. It's like "Pythonic". A warm fuzzy feeling that not everyone will share about the same things. It depends on what they consider important / good about a language.
Is C++ a C? Is Oberon a Pascal? Is F# a ML? Is C# a Java? Is Go a Squeak? Is Objective-C a Smalltalk? Is Javascript a Self?
- oblio 11y agoPython actually has a definition for pythonic. PEP 20: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/. Just think of it as civil law (versus common law) when interpreting it.
