LISP = LISt Processor and was developed long before Linux was on the
scene, dating back to the 1950's as I understand it. It is still a
popular language in the AI community.

 

I personally don't see a strong correlation between studying this
programming language and learning more about what Linux is. If anything,
IMO, a course on operating systems or a course on Unix would give you
background that you could use to better understand the Linux OS.

 

My two cents ...

I have been taking the class on linux through the communiversity. I
don't know what LISP stands for but wonder if this would be something
that would help me learn more about what linux is?
