For anyone interested, John McCarthy's original paper on Lisp is here: RECURSIVE FUNCTIONS OF SYMBOLIC EXPRESSIONS AND THEIR COMPUTATION BY MACHINE (Part I) http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/recursive.html http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/recursive.html From the page: "This paper appeared in Communications of the ACM in April 1960. It is the original paper on Lisp." I had mentioned it in this blog post in which I gave a few examples of doing simple computations recursively in Python (for beginners).
