That is interesting. I am wondering though, in what areas does Lisp get used these days?
What would be a good project to showcase the strengths of Lisp, versus other well-known languages?
How/why do people end up learning Lisp, what is the usual route to entry?
Genuine questions, not trying to start a language battle here. I've never used Lisp before so am curious about all of this. To me it feels like one of those exotic old-school languages like Erlang or Perl.
