- I'd like to ask the academics on the net about the use of Lisp in
- their institutions. Apologies in advance; I know some of this
- information has been posted before, but I failed to save it.
-
- What schools (high schools, colleges and universities) use Lisp or
- Scheme in introductory computer science courses? How has the use of
- Lisp over more "conventional" languages affected the way in which
- students learn the basic concepts of computer science?
-
- And which institutions use Lisp as the primary language throughout the
- core computer science curriculum, and what effect has it had on the
- program?
-
- Please reply to me only. Thanks.
