A community for the Lisp family of programming languages.

Lisp (historically LISP) is a family of programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized prefix notation. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language. Only Fortran is older, by one year.

A C64, I believe.
Turbo Pascal... or whatever their IDE was called.
Turbo Pascal... or whatever the language was called. :-) (But I'm not entirely sure whether QBasic had beaten it by a week-or-so anymore.)
Roughly, 20 years. I (kind of) regret that.
Common Lisp, if we don't accept Python as a Lisp.
GNU Emacs, mostly.
Rust and Go, but that's mostly because Common Lisp still lacks a good integrated compiler/package manager/project management system that doesn't start with "install Quicklisp, then...". Roswell just does not work on most systems on which I had tried it.
Common Lisp.
