> things like garbage collection, message-passing object-orientation, generics, rich sets of conditionals, first-class functions, etc. were brand spanking new. They were The Right Thing to do
I quite like this view, because these things have clearly been copied everywhere such as my language of choice C#, but the one thing that nobody copied is the one that Lisp programmers rave about most: homoiconicity (brackets everywhere).
I think following what's written in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoiconicity#Implementation_m...) and only using the adjective for stuff like Lisp, Tcl, Rebol is better than diluting its meaning to the point where it applies to any language with tree-sitter bindings and a parser.
Prolog, Dylan, Julia, and R are stuff like Lisp, Tcl, and Rebol. I don't know about Erlang, and I don't know what pjmlp means by "Lisp-2", which I normally interpret as meaning a Lisp with different namespaces for functions and variables, following Steele's terminology.
