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.
