Interesting explanation. Would you recommend Lisp to a C/Python developer who is focused on system applications?

  For what purpose? What do you mean by system applications? Certainly I would evaluate it as a reasonable language for anywhere where Python is used.....

    One application I spend a lot of time working on/modifying is my crawler. It uses Python's Beautiful Soup. Other applications I use/work on are my master control application. It is written in C and handles configuration sharing between systems.

      Depending on complexity and future plans, Common Lisp might be a good choice to create the controller in. I don't think I'd want to try to reimplement Beautiful Soup without a really good reason! :)
