I'm angling for Lisp, as I'll be working through SICP over the next N months anyway. Even if it turns out that I never develop anything real in it, I think it would be more beneficial to really understand Lisp than it would to be proficient in Python.
- dangoldin 19y agoI think I'm gonna go with the Lisp approach too. I think I'd be able to pick up Python much quicker given my experience. I'm also getting very interested in Genetic Programming so Lisp would be a boon for that.
- cstejerean 19y agoI'm a big fan of lisp but I have to say that a solid understanding of Python has been a lot more beneficial to me than Lisp. While I like the mind expanding concepts of Lisp I find that I use Python for almost everything on a daiky basis. Lisp has been fun to learn but I've rarely used it since so if I had to pick I would learn Python before Lisp.
