> Abstract
>
> In October 1958, John McCarthy published one in a series of reports
> about his then ongoing effort for designing a new programming language
> that would be especially suited for achieving artificial intelligence.
> That report was the first one to use the name LISP for this new
> programming language. 50 years later, Lisp is still in use. This  
> year we
> are celebrating Lisp's 50th birthday. OOPSLA 2008 is an excellent  
> venue
> for such a celebration, because object-oriented programming benefited
> heavily from Lisp ideas and because OOPSLA 2008 takes place in  
> October,
> exactly 50 years after the name Lisp has been used publicly for the
> first time. We will have talks by John McCarthy himself, and numerous
> other influential Lispers from the past five decades. We will also  
> take
> a look at the next 50 years of Lisp.
