I want to learn to program and I can't seem to pick a direction. A java guy I know makes a lot of $, but a lot of reading I have done shows lisp smalltalk and haskell to be really nice, as well as of course python. It seems python is 4/5 way to lisp yet has a lot of people using it for practical things. I also hear that it dominates in leaving readable code behind it. Am I listening to too much marketing from non dominant tools? I hear again and again how java is just putrid. My instict says learn something like scheme but my smal experience sees only java people making money.. aggkk!! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
