The history of Lisp is described here in detail: http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/history/lisp/lisp.html Like all complex systems, it did not appear fully-formed in a flash of inspiration. It was both designed and evolved through experimentation. That process of *trying things* and keeping those that work is usually called "design". -- Steven D'Aprano http://import-that.dreamwidth.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
