Everyone says “Nobody uses Lisp” and Lispers say “Yes they do, there’s ITA, and, um, Autocad, and, uh, oh yeah, Paul Graham wrote Viaweb in Lisp!” Not very helpful for either side. It’s about time there was a better resource. In true Lispy fashion, I decided to roll my own rather than look for one that someone else did better. I think I can do a pretty good job because I wanted a page like this to put my new startup<\/a> on once I actually do the development \ud83d\ude42 Please use the Contact Me<\/a> page to send me additional companies that you know of. Please include as much as possible about the founders, the role of Lisp, the flavor used, the location, and a blurb about the company. Please let me know if you’d like any of the information to remain off of the list. So here’s my ad-hoc, incomplete list of companies using Lisp or Scheme right now.<\/p>\n <\/strong> North America<\/strong><\/p>\n Northeast States<\/p>\n Midwest States<\/p>\n SF Bay Area<\/p>\n Northwest States & Vancouver<\/p>\n South<\/p>\n Montreal, Canada<\/p>\n Western US (outside SF Bay)<\/p>\n Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n Belgium<\/p>\n Denmark<\/p>\n Finland<\/p>\n Germany<\/p>\n Netherlands<\/p>\n Norway<\/p>\n Portugal<\/p>\n Sweden<\/p>\n Asia<\/strong><\/p>\n India<\/p>\n Japan<\/p>\n Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n Virtual or Unsure of Location <\/strong><\/p>\n Other Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n An anonymous poster recommended Jane Street Capital<\/a> because their job page<\/a> mentioned familiarity with functional programming languages (including Lisp\/Scheme), but Jane Street is well known for using OCaml, not Lisp. They just realize that it’s worth the effort to teach a Lisp programmer OCaml! This is a hand-edited static page for now. If I get a good response and lots of entries, I might make it a dynamic, searchable site. I decided to organize it geographically, but let me know if another order would be better.
