Andy and others (especially Paul Graham) have convinced me to learn LISP because it sounds so cool. I just spent $54 on Graham's ANSI Common LISP book and intend to dive in. (I got Norvig's book too.)
Paul Graham's papers provide the best example I've found for actually doing something useful with LISP....rapid development of a web server component. Besides that I'm starving for justification of where LISP is actually used for real benefits. Any ideas???? Besides stretching my brain, I'd like to think LISP knowledge actually is useful. I know..wishful thinking.
