Common Lisp is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language standardized in the 1980s-90s that descends from the original Lisp, known for its powerful macro system, dynamic typing, and support for functional and object-oriented programming via CLOS. It is used in artificial intelligence research, symbolic computation, and rapid prototyping, and remains valued for its flexibility and interactive development environment. Programmers, particularly in academia and specialized AI or fintech applications, use it for building complex, extensible software systems.
