I use lisp at university and its been around for ages its been around since 1958, but it ain't used as much, because of its hard to understand its a functional Language and the style of it can be hard to understand.

PHP Code:


			
(defun factorial(n)(cond((eq n 0)1)

 (t(times n(factorial(difference n 1))))))

I would say prolog is a good one for the future its easier to understand and its only been around since 1972, but LISP allows for the program to learn and add to itself.

And i remember the turing test and the Chinese room which is a theory against the turing test and program intelligence. I had to write alot of assignments on them.
