There are four guys credited as the creators of Julia, but the guy who sort of had the initial idea, Jeff Bezanson, is definitely a lisp enthusiast. He created his own dialect of scheme (like every lisp enthusiast), femtolisp https://github.com/JeffBezanson/femtolisp https://github.com/JeffBezanson/femtolisp This lisp is still used as part of the Julia parser. Julia isn't really a lisp and it isn't trying to be, though it does have some things in common: * AST macros * everything is an expression and has a value * while infix notation is supported for operators, they are just normal functions. Still, the language is very much array-oriented and, as far as I know, there isn't even a linked list implementation in the standard library. It's a side-effect of trying to be fast. (pun strongly intended.)
