Is the second programming language to have existed, and it is still used for some applications. It has some unique properties, including _code is data_. It is a functional language, and functional programming is making a comeback as well. There's a lot to it. I work at a company that used common lisp all the way down.

Is lisp really more functional than, say, Rust? I've tried it for a while but find Haskell much more pleasant to work with.

  I'm not saying it's more functional than another language, also depends on the dialect of lisp. In general though, lisp is a functional language.
