Why does CODEFORCES not support LISP ?
By bearzx, 12 years ago, In English

Solving easy problems on online judge website is a good way to learn a new programming language. As LISP is a popular functional programming language, I wonder why do we can't submit source code written by LISP, while we can submit source code written by some other functional languages like Haskell, Scala or OCaml. Wish someone can explain this.

That,'s not answer to your question, but if you want to learn lisp, you can try CodeChef, LISP is supported here ;-)

I am 100% sure that I can write any code in lisp faster than in any language. So, I'm double it. Is there any problems related to including any decent CL translator in list, for example?

Which lisp do you mean? There are many lisps. Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure... I would personally be glad to see any of them on codeforces. :)

    I guess it's a bit hard to separate compilation from running on most lisps.

      Similarly to many script languages available on CF

        Except many lisps actually do compile in repl, and it takes much time.
