I think what used to be Lisp culture now uses the *ML languages or Haskell. It's only throwbacks (which includes me sometimes) who still use Lisp. I've been wanting for a while to do something in ML but just haven't worked up enough steam for it. Python really does make small and medium-sized tasks easy, even compared with Lisp. I'm still reserving judgement about how it is at large tasks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
