Using Lisp the same way as you do other languages isn't any more difficult than using the other languages, after you learn the syntax and the basic tools of course. It's what you can do after you've learnt the basics that sets Lisp apart. In other words: the beginning of the learning curves of Lisp vs. other languages are about the same. Lisp's curve just continues after that.
