Common Lisp: The Connection Machine (Thinking Machines Corp) used a variant called *Lisp. I wonder if that was an influence? http://www.softwarepreservation.n

  This harkens back further to when Descartes wrote "Cogito, ergo sum", the first recorded instance of a Lisp program. Amazing.

    Earlier, the introduction of the Lisp Machine enabled the first Lisp programmers Adam and Eve to abandon bra and fig-leaf.

  Part of lisp is just that it's really easy to sort of 80/20 rule you a compiler or DSL. In new spaces that haven't been fully explored, lisp is awesome for letting you iterate on fundamentals of a language design before you put the work into a full language.
