/prog/ - Lisp is an app

Lisp is not a programming language. It's an app written in another programming language.

So Lispers write apps that write apps that write apps that write apps?

What if the Lisp app is written in Lisp?

Basically true. The whole multi-mb runtime is included with every lithpscript program. Some Lithps allow to remove unneeded parts(i believe its called "tree-shaking") but the whole thing remains way more bloated than scheme-to-c compilers.

There are lisp to C compilers too.

Scheme is a Lisp. So a Scheme-to-C compiler is a Lisp-to-C compiler.

'Lisp' does not necessarily imply Common Lisp. it's a generic term for a family of languages, kinda like 'Basic' or 'Pascal'. Commodore BASIC programs won't run in VB.NET but they do belong in the same family.

They aren't shouting - in Lisp and Scheme symbol names are generally referred to in uppercase letters. -- BillAtkins

The first self-hosting compiler – capable of compiling its own source code in a high-level language – was created in 1962 for Lisp by Tim Hart and Mike Levin at MIT.
