Don't think that starting with lisp is going to cut it for a "Software Engineering" - type track. Took a CS level "functional programming" class however as part of my Software Engineering track and it has made my life all the more better...
- gouranga 14y agoWell it depends if the students want general purpose knowledge or knowledge that will earn them cash quickly. Common lisp isn't all that functional TBH (it can be if you want it to be though)
- pnathan 14y agoI'd recommend to hire someone from an all-functional-languages school over a .NET or Java school. I would be confident that they would find things like Java or Python very easy.
