> become enamored with a language that has roots that go back to 1957, i.e. Lisp? Duh. What does that punk think that the "60" in Algol 60 stands for? Y'know, the bondage and discipline languages also have an ancestry that goes pretty far back. And I'd choose C++ (or Java) over Algol just as I'd choose Clojure over Lisp1.5 any time.
