Lisp @ Google: 2001'de öldü 2008'de yeniden doguyor

Su anda Turkceye cevirmedim yazdigimi ama listedekilerin buyuk
kisminin anlayabilecegini tahmin ediyorum:

First Erann Gat tried it to no avail:

"I did try to introduce Lisp to Google. Having had some experience
selling Lisp at JPL I got all my ducks in a row, had a cool demo
going, showed it to all the other members of the ads team, and had
them all convinced that this was a good idea. The only thing left was
to get approval from the VP of engineering. The conversation went
something like this:

Me: I'd like to talk to you about something…
Him: Let me guess - you want to use Smalltalk.
Me: Er, no…
Him: Lisp?
Me: Right.
Him: No way.

And that was the end of Lisp at Google."

However this is not the end of the story and saga continues. Here
comes a young and bright researcher Dr. Moshe Looks, with his fresh
Ph.D (check out his publications). under his belt, tackling the topic
of some complex semantic machine learning problems using plop which is
coded… yes, to no surprise, in Common Lisp! ;-). You can read about
plop in Google Research Blogs, too. Check it out:

"plop is a Common Lisp framework for experimenting with
meta-optimizing semantic evolutionary search (MOSES) and related
approaches to learning with probability distributions over program
spaces based on:

* reduction to normal form
* representation-building
* deme (sub-population) management
* probabilistic model-building (aka estimation-of-distribution algorithms)"
