Why programmers should learn LISP

by Stii

LISP is a very old programming language. It was originally specified in 1958. So why should programmers learn LISP? Eric Raymond explains it best in this very short paragraph:

Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot.

There you have it. What better reason do you need?!
