The following comment on lisp from /. attracted my interest.
An ideal world would run on LISP...
It's amazing and somwhat sad that programming languages and runtime environments from Smalltalk to Java to Python to C#/.NET keep reinventing the wheel while a language from the 1950s has it all and does it even better - the most elegant syntax thinkable, powerful paradigms for code reuse, dynamic typing, modern memory management with no buffer overflows, and, with Common Lisp, one robust, industrial-strength language with a rich standard library that can both interpreted and compile code, obsoleting the difference between "programming" and "scripting" languages...
It was discussion on Practical Common Lisp book.
