No, I say you won't get too much by learning LISP. I was attracted to LISP-related topic by similar arguments; looking back now, I found those argument at least not true for me. You WILL get very interesting ideas and concepts, it's fun, basically, that's it. + You won't solve problem faster than your colleges with solid competitive programming background; + you won't be able to optimize the code and cut 30% of your company's server cost, + you won't feel comfortable to read real-world complex project code, + you won't get some domain-specific knowledge to solve problems you previously can't solve. + ..... It won't make you a better problem solver; at least its impact is way smaller than pick up go/rust/cpp/java and carefully try implement challenge like: https://github.com/codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x https://github.com/codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x
