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?

Wait, there's a language specifically for looping and iteration?
Not that much. It was demonstrating one of the things you can do with macros and syntactic abstraction.
I think i understand why i will never understand you. In my eyes language is nothing but a tool to create programs. In your eyes, language itself is self-sufficient; who cares about actual programs when you have such AWESOME syntactic abstraction and semantic abstraction? Enjoy your Satori, also see >>6
