Lisp
From Gentoo Wiki
Lisp is a family of programming languages related to the LISP (LISt Processor) language designed by John McCarthy at MIT, first described in a 1960 article in the Communications of the ACM. Informally, it refers to Common Lisp; however, the Lisp family also includes languages such as Scheme, described in the RnRS series of specifications, together with Emacs Lisp and Dylan.
