On that note: Lisp is a family of very flexible and powerful programming languages. Com= pared to other languages there are fewer restrictions (if any), more supported paradigms= , more powerful primitives (first-class continuations in Scheme for example) and infinite= ly better metaprogramming facilities due to superior lack of syntax.
