Thread 106377847

Lisp and lisp machines were a stolen idea from a Soviet scientist Andrej Nikolajevič Kolmogorov (Aндpéй Hикoлáeвич Кoлмoгópoв)
He was the one who actually came up with LISP as a programming language when discussing the matter in an international science event. However, due to sanctions, the Soviet Union did not have the hardware required for him to actually implement this idea.
Next time you use LISP or it's derivatives, you should thank Andrej and you should thank the Russian Federation for existing.

>damn this doesn't read like normal human language and would be hard to get used to much less maintain, so what are the upsides?
