-'''[[LISP]]''' (LISt Processing) is a programming language dating back to 1958; only [[FORTRAN]] is older among programming languages still in use. While it was originally written in all capitals due to its acronymic origins, it's now more typically written as a normal proper name, "Lisp".

 It's known as "the programming language with all the parentheses" due to its syntax consisting of deeply nested structures, the so-called S-Expressions. (This attribute is shared by [[TRAC programming language]], but LISP is better-known, as well as [[Scheme]], which started as an effort to formalize and standardize LISP and later led to the "Common LISP" variant of LISP.) LISP treats everything as a list which can be manipulated by its operators, including LISP commands themselves, so programs are able to be self-modifying.
