[becky_lewis <bex.le...@gmail.com>] > Lisp and Clojure are functional languages.
No, they're not. But you can (and often will) do quite a bit of functional programming in Lisp, as it lends itself quite naturally to that way of thinking. But in (Common) Lisp you also have CLOS, which is a rather different way to do object oriented programming. It will widen your horizon in more than one way. The advice to learn just one programming language at a time seems sound, though. I would take it, if I were you. -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen <URL:http://www.math.ntnu.no/~hanche/> - It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. -- Bertrand Russell -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
