I would say that Lisp is just as much an actual programming language as C++ or Java. Yes, there are different dialects of Lisp but so are there (or were there) different dialects of Java, just ask Sun and Microsoft. Many other programming languages have distinct dialects; I would guess that there are significant dialects of almost every widely used programming languages. [...] Peter F.
