Lisp for Statistical Computing

Along the years, there have been many calls and attempts to use Lisp dialects for statistics.

That is a long story. Till we write a good summary of it, here are some historical examples worth looking into.

• Lisp-Stat, XLispStat by L. Tierney and some projetcs continuing them
• Lush by Y. LeCun
• This influencial 2008 paper by R. Ihaka (one of R's inventors) and D.T. Lang
• This 2019 pamphlet by R.M. Godek
• Clojure's Incanter library by D.E. Liebke, later maintained by A. Ott
