Nice article - thanks for that!
The more I read about Lisp, the more I want to understand... but I
suspect I am too old & even in my youth I never got much past BASIC.
The only Lisp I've been able to follow code in is Dylan, and Dylan
seems to be rather moribund... :?(

Very interesting comment, Rich (and Toby, by the way).
Hi Sergio
Last night I came across (via Quora*) a piece by Paul Graham that tries to
put McCarthy's early Lisp work into perspective.

(The article itself is linked here as a PostScript file.)
I haven't read it all yet.
