What is YISP Language

This additions to Lisp added by YISP provides functionality that turns Lisp from a classroom-language to a language that can be used for more intricate designs. YISP incorporates functional programming concepts that allow for more precise, less error-prone, efficient code that cuts out syntactic sugar. Vector and hash map support allow YISP programmers to store data in more efficient ways, simplifying projects that would otherwise be complex in Lisp. The ability to access command history helps the programmer be more efficient.
