What is Lisp good for?

When I hear Bash/Perl/Ruby/Java/C/ML/Erlang/Smalltalk/etc I know what I'm dealing with, I know what they are good for and when to use them, but what about List? Don't get me wrong, I like Lisp, I just don't see for what I could use it.

So, what are you doing with Lisp and why exactly Lisp over any other PL?

>>19 Lisp is good for writing mini-languages for specific problem domains
Instead of using real laguages suited for these problems. See >>6

>>20 Lisp is also excellent for abstraction and good at eradicating code duplication
Like any other language
(But the point is, if it wasn't built-in, I could add it myself.) <- lol right, like in no other language

>>21
WinAPI, not even reading

>>24 When you syntactically define a function, it's made available as a function. Why can't I do this for callbacks? WHERE'S THE ABSTRACTION?
Is that really so much of a problem? You can't do it in c, yes, c is old, but you can in many other languages (see perl).
