Artyom Bologov @aartaka describes the languages and programming styles that are in Common Lisp. To me Common Lisp is more a rich toolbox than a family of languages.

@amoroso From a pragmatic point of view, I share the "toolbox" perspective, but taking a historical perspective, @aartaka 's view of CL being a fusion of similar languages with distinct focuses is interesting.

Nothing special of course, human languages are much the same: the result of complex historical paths, which however we don't need to know or understand to use the language.

@khinsen Agreed, the family of languages makes a lot of sense once you take the historical evolution into account.
