Friday Social is back! So we know we are all Lisp programmers here and we love the language and use it.

But I am sure some of us work with other languages too. Like I have to work with C, C++, Python and a number of other languages to work on different projects. I am sure some of you do too.

So the questions for this Friday Social are:

What Lisp programming languages do you use?
What non-Lisp programming languages do you use?
What is your favorite Lisp programming language? Why?
What is your favorite non-Lisp programming language? Why?
What is that one thing about your favorite non-Lisp language that you wish to see in your favorite Lisp language?

Happy Friday!

A community for the Lisp family of programming languages.

Lisp (historically LISP) is a family of programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized prefix notation. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language. Only Fortran is older, by one year.
