How much LISP is in RPL?

Lisp uses prefix notation, so instead of 3 4 + they write (+ 3 4). Thus regarding the syntax there's not much in common. You see a lot of parentheses leading to the famous quote by Larry Wall:

Quote:Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in.

However both 48GX and 50G provide some operations on lists e.g. STREAM which acts similar to reduce:

Code:

(reduce #'+ '(1 2 3 4)) => 10

And then functions are first-class citizens both in Lisp and RPL which is always nice.
