Lisp and Ruby

Somethings for my reading list

Lisp and Ruby: "I recently came across Paul Graham's essay, Beating the Averages where he talks glowingly about Lisp. It piqued my interest in this language.

While reading some articles on Lisp, I ran across two really good articles comparing the two. I thought I'd share them with you: Power vs. Popularity Why Ruby is an Acceptable Lisp Make sure to read the comments. Most of the meat is in there. If you have thoughts about which language I should pursue, leave them in the comments."
