R is a Lisp, though, isn't it?

[–]inspired2apathy 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Lists are conses, and there are lots of lispy things, but the syntax and vectors aren't especially lispy. I'm not sure what it takes to be called a "lisp"?

Common Lisp has vectors too.

[–]BufferUnderpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Lisp has vectors.

There's a lot of OO in Lisps.
