Do they still teach it these days? Yes. My Computing Languages course was taught with Scheme (a member of the Lisp family), and was by far my most enjoyable course in college. Scheme is an elegant language for studying different programming paradigms. In fact, I strongly recommend this book: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, 2/e I had Prolog in my AI course. I understand that the course was previously taught with Prolog and Lisp, but two languages turned out to be too much for the students. By the time I took that course I was already familiar with many variants of Lisp, though. faried.
