Scope: ~~~~~~

Lisp is one of the greatest ideas from computer science and a major influence for almost all programming languages and all sufficiently complex software applications.

The International Lisp Conference is a forum for the discussion of Lisp and, in particular, the design, implementation and application of any of the Lisp dialects. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.
