SLIP and Lisp: The Trailblazers of AI Programming and Symbolic Computation | HackerNoon
Briefly

Weizenbaum connected with AI through various figures including psychiatrist Kenneth Colby and influenced by Ed Feigenbaum's work with IPL programming at Berkeley.
While Weizenbaum came from a practical software engineering background, he recognized the limitations of existing programming languages for AI tasks, sparking innovation in AI-specific functionalities.
The evolution from IPL to programming languages like Lisp highlighted the need for improved symbol processing and recursion capabilities essential for advancing artificial intelligence.
