Lisp (or LISP) is a family of computer programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized syntax. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today; only Fortran is older. Like Fortran, Lisp has changed a great deal since its early days, and a number of dialects have existed over its history. Today, the most widely known general-purpose Lisp dialects are Common Lisp and Scheme. Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, influenced by the notation of Alonzo Church's lambda calculus. It quickly became the favored programming language for artificial intelligence (AI) research. As one of the earliest programming languages, Lisp pioneered many ideas in computer science, including tree data structures, automatic storage management, dynamic typing, and the self-hosting compiler. The name LISP derives from "LISt Processing". Linked lists are one of Lisp languages' major data structures, and Lisp source code is itself made up of lists. As a result, Lisp programs can manipulate source code as a data structure, giving rise to the macro systems that allow programmers to create new syntax or even new domain-specific programming languages embedded in Lisp. The interchangeability of code and data also gives Lisp its instantly recognizable syntax. All program code is written as s-expressions, or parenthesized lists. A function call or syntactic form is written as a list with the function or operator's name first, and the arguments following; for instance, a function f that takes three arguments might be called using From Wikipedia under the

HASKELL: Haskell is a standardized purely functional programming language with non-strict semantics, named after the logician Haskell Curry. The goals of the language are described as:[2] "Haskell is an advanced purely functional programming language. An open source product of more than twenty years of cutting edge research, it allows rapid development of robust, concise, correct software. With strong support for integration with other languages, built-in concurrency and parallelism, debuggers, profilers, rich libraries and an active community, Haskell makes it easier to produce flexible, maintainable high-quality software." meta language: In logic and linguistics, a metalanguage is a language used to make statements about statements… [cont.] Answered by sowndaryasekar - Sun Dec 14 00:10:22 2008 Looking for the "Hello World" of Artificial Intelligence?
Q. Hi Everyone, I've been programming for years and have always had an interest in AI, especially evolutionary programs that 'learn' over time. I'm looking for some starter tutorials/websites/books that offer good introductions to AI and ease a learner into the more complex topics/algorithms. If anyone has any decent sources they could point me towards, I'd appreciate it. Also, what language is most often used for AI? I regularly program in: Assembly, C, C++, Java, C#, and RPG. I'm currently getting acquainted with Python (and loving it). I've heard LISP is used regularly, but I've not taken the time to learn it yet. Thanks ahead of time for your input! Asked by Java Mancer - Mon Jul 14 12:32:12 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I worked in AI from 1981 to 1989 and from 1998 to 2002, and I used PL/I during the first incarnation (actually the second--the first was from the late 60's through the mid to late 70's, before I joined the project) and C during the final one (with Motif for the GUI). The machine-learning part of the project fizzled due to the drying up of funding. There are languages, such as LISP and Prolog that are geared toward the needs of AI, as perceived by those whose software has had commercial success, but when the project predated those languages and is already doing quite well without them, there is nothing to be gained by jumping on the bandwagon, especially when the field of expertise is much more dependent on graph embeddings and… [cont.] Answered by sixtiesradical - Mon Jul 14 12:54:19 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Lisp programming language" Lisp is a family of computer programming languages based on formal functional calculus. Lisp (for "List Processing Language") stores and manipulates programs in the same manner as any other data, making it well suited for "meta-programming" applications. One of the oldest "high level" programming languages (second only to Fortran), Lisp continues to be popular in the field of artificial intelligence down to the present day. Contents
