Can you recommend a resource on lisp? I have some interest in learning a bit of it for fun because proper around here seem to marvel over it so much and I'd like to see what the hype is about.
That recent thread linked had lots of good stuff. For me it was the Practical Common Lisp [1] and Land of Lisp [2] books. I like starting with a book and articles, but then need a project to work on to really learn it and experience the language. I will now make some quick scripts with Lisp since it is so easy to write it as you figure it out in a REPL, and a big project has been a text-based game engine using CEPL [3].
For me the power was really just in trying it out, seeing the joy of using a REPL and that everything is code. The development process is just better and more fun.
