I have worked part-time in a construction firm, and did a lot of CAD drafting and
AutoLISP
routines. AutoLISP is a derivative of LISP; it only incorporates some parts of LISP,
but some
are features added by Autodesk. Autodesk chose LISP to be the basis of AutoCAD's
internal
programming language because of LISP's capability of storing mulitple values to one
variable; a
CAD draftsman can store the x,y, and z coordinates to one variable instead of using
three
different variables.
