I have started with Python because I needed a fast way to develop
solutions using OO. Python fullfiled my expectations.
The point is that I have started with Python because I was missing
something, not because I wanted to expand my knowledge.
Learning one programming language is a burden, because there is always to
little time for everything.
Lisp is probably cool, but what will I gain from Lisp ? What will
justify my investment, I mean spent time ?
