Is Plato still useful in today's world? I think if you answer that then you should be able to give a a minimum a qualified "yes" to the question about Lisp.

I was introduced to both Lisp and PLATO in 1992 at UIUC. I was very confused by statement until I realized you meant Plato, not PLATO, which has very little use in today's world.

Not sure about Plato, I would rather say Buddha.)
