LISP and Scheme still have one killer feature all other languages don't have: extremely powerful macros. http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/Lisp-Notes/Macros.html http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/Lisp-Notes/Macros.html This article gives a good insight what about LISP is so awesome: http://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/lisp.html http://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/lisp.html I also vote for Ada because this is the best language I know to write maximum quality software. I would love to make money for living by coding Ada for Embedded Systems.
