I read about lisp in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" a long time ago. Then I read "Practical Common Lisp" which was a revelation for me. I never ended up using the language but I still see pieces of code or techniques in other languages that make me think about how it would be much simpler in LISP. When Clojure came out I learned it as I was also programming on the JVM at that time. I even joined the local Clojure meetup group. I never worked on real world projects in Clojure but the community around it is awesome. I still have fond memories of that time. I also learned Emacs and the tooling around it. There was a time when I knew that I'm done with Java, but I didn't know what's next. I ended up choosing Kotlin over Clojure. Kotlin is a great language and I don't regret going in that direction but sometimes I still think about what could have been... Then I moved to node/typescript and now I'm learning Solidity because that's what's being used in the web3 space. I guess it is still not the time for me to finally embrace Lisp.
