Interesting comment, what does Noam Chomsky have to do with Lisp?
- PaulHoule 2y agoAlmost every other programming language uses parsing technology related to Chomsky’s generative grammars, Lisp is the conspicuous exception.
- kazinator 2y agoDon't forget that Chomksy probably spent a vast amount of time inserting labeled brackets into lists of words to show their syntax! And it wasn't his choice or fault that they are aren't there.
