contest

LispNYC and ClojureNYC, in conjunction with the ALU, are awarding prizes for demonstrating interesting and useful programs, technologies and art using any LISP-based technology in our 2013 summer programming contest.

But why lisp? Aside from writing great software faster by beating the averages, as Paul Graham said, "Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days."

Even if you're learning and new to lisp, do more in less time by exploring the world of functional programming.

Project submissions for this year are now closed, winners will be announces in December!
