MIT 6.001 Structure and Interpretation (1986) [video]
I'm studying CS but haven't heard any concrete examples of why I should learn a lisp (scheme, Clojure). Every time I ask i get pseudo-intellectual answers of how it will expand my mind, make it easier to express complex human problems/domains into code or even make me re-evaluate things in life on a philosophical level. What? On the one hand, i'm sooo curious to study all of this and see for myself, but on the other hand, life's too short and I'm already spending so much time in front of a PC to get my degree, learn a couple of more languages, make side projects on github, personal blogs etc to make myself more employable.<p>Anyway, i know this is HN i'm asking, but can you give me at least one compelling reason why I should study lisp,scheme or clojure ?
