Thanks for the links, the last gives a good summary.
I think newlisp is great for scripting, if i were on the jvm on a large
project I'd use clojure, but for tasks that I might use ruby,python, or
perl for i find newlisp refreshingly clean and direct.
It may be warty, if warty means practical. C

I've seen enough about newLISP to not bother.

Lisp Flavored Erlang is an extremely interesting lisp. in my opinion.
You get Erlang, and you also get s-expressions and macros.
Common Lisp and Scheme are the obvious choices, I suppose.
Learning common lisp I would probably go towards clozure common lisp,
or clisp.
(SBCL is fine (great, even)

The free downloadable SICP lectures (and book) were for me really
illuminating after initial contact with Clojure. Engaging and broad. A

If you're going to try the straight Scheme avenue, you might try the
Gambit implementation, which is touted as very fast.

A good way to good if you already use Emacs as your IDE.
For something different but still Scheme based, there

I don't have broad experience with various Lisps, but I have also done
some programming in Scheme and Common Lisp.
You can program in a functional style in both, or in an imperative
style in both. In Scheme, functional style is a bit more idiomatic,
so you will find more examples of functional st

Use the textbook htdp.org and you will develop a very deep
understanding of how to structure programs in Lisp (and this
understanding will transfer to other languages as well).
You mentioned that you want to see if there are other ideas worth
stealing. Not only does PLT Sch
Hi everyone,
After hacking Clojure for a while, I've come to the conclusion that
studying a second Lisp would help. So, what do the people here
think? What is a good Lisp to study? Are there particular dialects &
distributions that are interesting? The things that are important to
me are:
