This post is a collection of quotes about Lisp (initially released in 1960). There are 3 quotes listed below. License: CC BY-SA 3.0
1. "As one of the earliest programming languages, Lisp pioneered many ideas in computer science, including tree data structures, automatic storage management, dynamic typing, conditionals, higher-order functions, recursion, the self-hosting compiler, and the read-eval-print loop." (Wikipedia: Lisp (programming language), 1.5.23 UTC 12:45)
2. "Lisp was the first language where the structure of program code is represented faithfully and directly in a standard data structure - a quality much later dubbed 'homoiconicity'. Thus, Lisp functions can be manipulated, altered or even created within a Lisp program without lower-level manipulations." (Wikipedia: Lisp (programming language), 1.5.23 UTC 12:45)
3. "Since inception, Lisp was closely connected with the artificial intelligence research community, especially on PDP-10 systems." (Wikipedia: Lisp (programming language), 1.5.23 UTC 12:45)
