This is probably because Jeff Bezanson, the creator of Julia, created a Lisp prior to Julia, which I think still exists inside Julia in some fashion

- melony 4y agoThe Julia compiler frontend I believe is written in lisp.
- michaelfiano 4y agoOnly the parser is, and it was recently re-written in Julia and in the process of being merged.
