In this chapter, we discussed the different dialects of Lisp and installing CLISP. You learned the following along the way:
There are two main dialects of Lisp: Common Lisp and Scheme. Both have a lot to offer, but we’ll focus on Common Lisp in this book.
Common Lisp is a multiparadigm language, meaning that it supports many different programming styles.
CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation that is easy to set up, making it a great choice for a Lisp novice.
You can type in Lisp commands directly from the CLISP REPL.
