I used to do a lot with AutoLisp in AutoCAD back when it ran in DOS. Did a lot of dynamic creation and manipulation of the models with it. It was useful and a lot of fun (aside from parenthesis nesting).

I use a scheme variant in an optics simulation product.

It's actually very pleasing to work with. I wish there was more stuff like this. Lispy programming languages and CAD seems like a natural fit.

That said, python is preferable for most people.

I did that back in the 90s too. A modern IDE like set of features for lisp would've been awesome. Notepad on NT4 didn't cut it :)

yea, this was in DOS days.

On one project I was using autolisp in AutoCAD, Then another language in an external database, and some pascal work to tie them together. I had to segregate my work to separate days to keep from getting my syntax all screwed up.
