Dick Gabriel on Lisp

[Comment]
Now in this entry were gonna talk about a podcast where Gabriel explain us about some Lisp features and interesting facts, like I did not know that Lisp had about 50 years old, which is a lot.
Lisp is a functional programming language, mostly use on Artificial Intelligence, from me all this is new that's why I found this podcast interesting. Because each language had evolution so much, first versions of Lisp were only 50 lines of code, which is a few from my point of view.
All the functional programming thing is new to me and some times confusing, but knowing that everything is a function make our life simpler. It's so different like Java were you need to define which variable is, solo I like even more clojure, make your code shorter and simpler.
Another aspect that I like about this podcast is the fact that tell you which applications have, like in robotics, artificial intelligence and even airline, so I can gave me an idea of what I can do. The logic of this programming language is challenging, because of the things it can do.
And finally I found really curious that LISP has as a feature the meta-circular interpreter, that in other words is the possibility to evaluate itself using another program with the same language. So giving this few tips I really recommend listening this podcast because, it has so much to offer and Gabriel had the answers because his is an expert on this field and it could make you prove this language.
In conclusion I think that this podcast gave us a bigger panorama of what you can and can not, so in the future I hope acquire experience with clojure and dominate the parentheses thing. So I hope not suffer to much learning it.
