I think also, but no one uses it except for emacs or some niche programming. Do not understand me wrong - I think it is a pity that it is not used more widely, but ... this is also my point. Few years ago I did some research where Prolog is used ... guess what - very limitted domains. Perhaps you do a research where lisp is used and share results. regards
