lisp

In Lisp, evaluating '(+ 1 2) produces '(+ 1 2), not 3. It seems that HTML doesn't support Lisp-style quotation so you can't say something like <quote><b>not bold</b></quote> in HTML and let it just produce <b>not bold</b> instead of not bold.

Is there any technical reason or historical reason for that? Thanks.

Why do you like Lisp ?

as seen on Programmers - Search for 'Programmers'
Why does Paul Graham advocate Lisp? Why did ITA Software choose Lisp over other High Level languages? Lisp obviously is an advantage for the AI stuff but I don't think Lisp is any faster than Java, C# or as a matter of fact faster than C. Still it is considered as a Hackers language?

I am not a master of Lisp, but I find it incredibly difficult to understand the advantage one would get in writing Business Software in Lisp. Yet it is considered as a hacker's… >>> More

Why not port Linux kernel to Common Lisp?

Conventional wisdom states that OS kernels must be written in C in order to achieve the necessary levels of performance.
