First, as someone who chartered the working group, who has implemented Lisp (the programming language) at least four times, and who views Dr. McCarthy as a hero I disagree that name is problematic or disrespectful. And I almost take offense in the claim that this is a generational thing.
Well you shouldn't and my apology for stated that. I was informed off list it was an intentional tribute to the language. It was just one of those things where you saw something that caught your eye and only as a passing thought, "don't these people know its a well known acronym?" I think I saw there was some relationship, but thought about the long run usage of "LISP" in reference to this work might be confusing. In other words, should people refer to this work as LISP? Its rhetorical.
