Scheme is the first Lisp?

  They definitely missed Lisp.

    And lambda calculus. And whatever Babbage's machine was programmed in.

      It wasn't programmed because it was never built (in his time anyway). I am assuming you are talking about the Analytical Engine, rather than the Difference Engine, since the latter is not a Turing machine. The method of programming was to be via punched cards, whose contents was roughly analogous to machine code.

    And ML. It is crazy to see what they didn't forget, and what they did.
