Hey, guys:

I am trying to get started into Lisp. I have read about it it some mathematics books that I have bought, and I think it looks pretty powerful. I have just installed Ubuntu on a Compaq that I got from a yard sale for $5, and am trying to get Emacs to work with Steel Bank Common Lisp.

Anyways, the point is, who uses Lisp? Do you find it better than C/Fortran/Assembly? What kind of things do you do with it?

Regards,
Colin.

I don't think I'll ever code DOS again, if I can help it.

I used MS Visual C++ .Net or something like that in school. That's probably why I switched to mathematics!!!

Sorry, but I've never even heard of it...other than the above references...did you try google searching for it...or does that bring up speech therapist sites too?

Lisp is a programming language... well, more like a scripting language, I guess. It's pretty powerful, I have heard. I've been playing around with it. I'm trying to build an MP3 streaming server with it.

I didn't know if anyone had had any experience with it.
