Yeah,
I've only dabbled in Lisp, but it seems like a great language to me. It
is on my list of languages to learn. I couldn't agree with you more about
Java and C# being about prohibition. With the next generation of C++ with
variadic templates I think C++ may overtake Lisp for metaprogramming, but I
don't know enough to really make that claim. I stray from Lisp mainly
because it isn't used as much as C++. But I do respect those that use it.
