Lisp (first formulated in 1959) is still alive and well: clojure.org
New languages (such as Javascript, Ruby, Python, even newer iterations of Java) become popular to the extent that they marry Algol-like (i.e. C-like) syntax with functional features derived from 1960s-era Lisp in an appealing fashion.
- CyberDildonics 10y agoThat didn't answer the question. No one doubts that functional languages like Lisp have been very influential.
- pjlegato 10y agoAs I wrote above, not merely influential in a historic sense, but alive and well today: clojure.org.
