I believe that you are right about trasferrability. About difficulty, it depends. If you start from C, Java or PHP then JS is easier than Lisp, at least until you get into the async stuff. If you start from vanilla Python, JS is more complicated so Lisp is not so much further away.
If you start from scratch, they are both equally difficult.
- shepherdjerred 4y agoYes, I agree with this. My statement was based on most programmers learning a C-style language first. If you have experience in a functional language then lisp will be much easier to learn.
- fiddlerwoaroof 4y agoThe things I learned from Common Lisp help me quite a bit in day-to-day JavaScript and Ruby development. The important transferable skills in programming are almost all language-independent, IMO.
