Lisp for the C21

[Mark Tarver]

QUOTE
Python has readable syntax, a huge library, and bindings for what
seems like every major in linux. Perl has CPAN. It seems with those
languages if you want to do something all you have to do is import
functionality from a library someone had written and use that.

In lisp you'd have to "roll your own".

Why should I keep on learning lisp when there are python and perl?

I can see where this guy is coming from (though I can't find the
original post any more (?)).

See my remarks on the Lisp for the Twenty First Century

http://www.lambdassociates.org/lC21.htm

for our take on this one.
