Talk:Lisp (programming language): Difference between revisions

Content deleted Content added
LISP first appeared in 1960: I added an extra paragraph to the end of the reply I published a minute ago.
Line 522:
:''We have to make it clear that the developing LISP-implementation already had serious users at this time...''
:And a few paragraphs down:
:''By chance one early version of the LISP-interpreter - dated 5/15/59 - is saved at MIT (in the possession of J. Moses) which does not contain the garbage collector.'' [[User:Unsuitably Silly Name|Unsuitably Silly Name]] ([[User talk:Unsuitably Silly Name|talk]]) 07:40, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
:Also, the fact that both of the references provided on the page state that only Fortran is older than Lisp should be taken into account. These are references from people who were around at the time, and it isn't as if COBOL is something they would have been unaware of.
