I'm mainly interested in Lisp because of articles I've been reading and recommendations I've gotten from various expert individuals. The article I've linked proposes a principle of the most powerful language.

My issue in learning new languages so far has been documentation. I'm spoiled due to my experience with Java which has clearly accessible universal documentation available online or in line with certain IDEs. If I could get similar documentation for Lisp, Haskell, or Smalltalk, I am sure I could pick up the languages rather quickly.

Thanks for the suggestions,

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
