+ newLISP is a Lisp-like, general-purpose scripting language. It is especially
+ well-suited for applications in AI, web search, natural language processing,
+ and machine learning. Because of its small resource requirements, newLISP
+ is also excellent for embedded systems applications. Most of the functions
+ you will ever need are already built in. This includes networking functions,
+ support for distributed and parallel processing, and Bayesian statistics."
