A blog post explores the potential of Lisp, a programming language historically associated with symbolic AI, for building modern AI agents. The author, drawing on their experience from a university AI course, demonstrates how Lisp's homoiconic nature allows for a concise implementation of an agent loop in just 100 lines of code. This approach leverages Lisp's data-as-code capability to simplify tool integration and manage agent state through recursion. AI
IMPACT Suggests Lisp's unique properties could simplify AI agent development, potentially influencing how developers approach agent architecture.
