While emacs isn't a requirement, something like paredit-mode should be. If your editor supports LISP syntax, LISP syntax is wonderful, if not it's hell. I remember first trying LISP in Eclipse and swearing it off. Many years later I watched someone code up something in LISP and realized how much more powerful your editor/IDE can be if it fully supported the simpler LISP syntax. Check out light table to see what this really means; http://www.chris-granger.com/2012/04/12/light-table---a-new-ide-concept/ I'd also highly recommend starting with Clojure for your foray into LISP. It doesn't have all the historical baggage and issues.

i was talking to a guy yesterday who has had exposure to the haxe community. the people who make the haxe compiler decided not to bootstrap it, but to write it in ocaml. their stated reason for doing so is to prevent peasants from tinkering with their compiler. they specifically chose ocaml because it's a barrier to entry which prevents people contributing to their project.

haxe is actually pretty neat and it's sort of a shame it wasn't more widely used

it makes me chortle that the haxe compiler people think that people who actually use their compiler are horrible plebs (which they might well be of course)

If you've never written a compiler from scratch you are probably gay and or stupid

i'm a really lovely programmer and i've never really explicitly used concurrency or multithreading in anything. what on earth would i use that poo poo for. like the goroutines+channels seem really cool but i can't figure out why i'd use them, especially when it seems like so much poo poo goes wrong in concurrent programming
