LispLisp is a shapeless language. It enables you to shape your solution to your problem.Lisp, unlike every other language I know, enable you to think about the problem and write the solution. Almost every other language has an "impedance problem", like connecting a soda straw to a firehose. Other languages require you to "forcefit your solution" to the language needs.Lisp is THE language to learn. Thinking in Lisp is thinking about your problem.Of all the languages I know, Lisp is the ultimate language.Unlike other languages, Lisp is an "epiphany language". You don't "get it" until you "get it"... and then you wonder why other people don't "get it". From the dictionary we find:An epiphany (from the ancient Greek ἐπιφάνεια, epiphanea, "manifestation, striking appearance") is an experience of a sudden and striking realization. ... Epiphanies are relatively rare occurrences and generally follow a process of significant thought about a problem.Clearly the "process of significant thought" is about the problem. Lisp is the language of that breakthrough experience.There are no words I can say, you have to have your own epiphany. (I could, I suppose, make some parenthetical remarks but that would be a bit meta).Lisp is a "must know" language. It is, in fact, the most important "must know" language.
