Used in college for AI class (of course) and specifically for a senior project on pattern based natural language learning and parsing. Fun, thought it was an awesome language. Am working through a Ruby book to learn ruby while implementing a subset of LISP.

I so wanted this to be the perfect language for me, and I never forgave it for its failure to do so. Too much baggage for it ever to become that language.

marcelor

2004–2005

Learnt it enough to complete the cl-ncurses library. Enjoyed it a lot but it is too weird and advanced for my daily use.

Paul Graham sounded smart, especially after he wrote one of the first modern spam filters. He said Lisp was good, so I tried it. I haven't looked back.

givas

2004

Learned because everyone said it was cool. Wrote a few applications with it and decided it didn't fit my thought process.
