Hi,  
Currently processing has programming language modes for JavaScript, Python. Are there any plans to include LISP (common LISP) as a mode in processing? Common LISP is a powerful AI language that i think would fit well with the ethos of processing.

Any thoughts on this.

Cheers.

There’s a Processing Clojure flavor called Quil, which I believe is close-related to LISP: 🖋

You should look at [thi.ng](https://thi.ng/) by Karsten Schmidt (aka toxi, aka [postspectacular](https://github.com/postspectacular)) it is very comprehensive, but not tied to processing in any way shape or form…
