Since the late 1950's Lisp has participated in the development of
modern (present day) programming practises.  It has shaped and been
shaped by the minds of just not programmers, but people involved
in dealing with the larger impacts and possibilities.
Its been there, is here, and will continue to be there in the future.
Lisp is a human construct that is a force to be reckoned with.  Its
construction reflects something very deep and fundamental about
computing.  So, it depends on what you want.
