> In spite of its lack of popularity, LISP (now "Lisp" or sometimes "Arc") remains an influential language in "key algorithmic techniques such as recursion and condescension"[1]
Neither LISP nor Prolog can be feasibly extended to enable development for large scale parallel computers. Erlang and Rust are true Fifth Generation Programming Languages, everything else might just as well be a purely amateurish effort.
Lisp as a language is particularly well suited for parallelization, e.g. function arguments can be evaluated in parallel, and functions can be mapped in parallel over lists. This would be MIMD parallelization.
Lisp isn't semantically different from other languages, only syntactically - sure things are expressed as `map` instead of a for loop[0], but what's important is the memory layout of your data and whether or not it'd actually be faster to parallelize it, rather than if you can force it to work that way. So as long as the program works the same way it still can't/shouldn't be parallelized.
