Word origin

The term 'lisper' is derived from the programming language Lisp, which was created by John McCarthy in 1958. The name Lisp itself comes from 'LISt Processing', reflecting its original design to manipulate data represented as lists. Lisp introduced groundbreaking concepts such as garbage collection, dynamic typing, and the use of symbolic expressions. Over the years, multiple dialects of Lisp have emerged, including Common Lisp, Scheme, and Clojure, each with unique features and community practices. As the language evolved, so did the community of programmers, known colloquially as 'lispers', who often share a passion for functional programming and explore advanced computational theories. The culture surrounding Lisp remains vibrant, with active discussions, innovations, and contributions from lispers worldwide.
