(list 20 "Lisp" '(1 2) 39)
```
Of course, cons cells are not limited to just lists, they can be nested and represent trees. Just read any Lisp source code for proof,
you're seeing the source encoded in a tree, directly by using S-Expressions. But here is something more immediate:
```lisp
;; (20 * 2 + 16) / 30 * 5
;; (cons '* (cons (cons '/ (cons (cons (cons '+ (cons '* (cons 20 2)) 16)) 30)) 5))
;;
;; (*)
;; / \
;; (/) 5
;; / \
;; (+) 30
;; / \
;; (*) 16
;; / \
;; 20 2
```
## Lisp languages in use
- [Scheme](scheme.md): created by the hackers Guy Steele and Gerald Sussman in 1975 at the MIT.
- [Common Lisp](common_lisp.md): Big for Lisp standards (still better and smaller than "modern" languages), is also the most used Lisp today.
