What makes Lisp...Lisp?

Name: Anonymous 2009-09-10 1:29

If you starting removing features from Lisp, at what point is it no longer Lisp? Some people claim Clojure shouldn't be considered a Lisp. Is it because too much Lisp was removed?

What is at the very heart of Lisp that makes it Lisp?

MAPCAR is more generic than that, but even assuming you're fine with such a definition, you're going to have to write a lot more specific boilerplate code than you were going to do in Lisp, just look at that size_t.
