LISP is great if you're a bipolar genius / MIT graduate

if you truly love computing, Lisp is absolutely worth learning and exploring. It separates people who have true passion for the art of computation from the chaff

(There are no Lisp jobs outside of academia, experimental quantum programming startups, and a select few AI thinktanks that use it for rapid propotyping)

Where should I start learning? Any book recommendations? Will using Emacs help? (I'm a vim babby).

>>60520747
use spacemacs instead of emacs

the most obvious book recommendation if Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

Lots of clojure(script) jobs out there making Java suck less. Even Walmart has been on the clojure train for years now.

Because it is good.
Code snippets are written in scheme tho.
It is a lisp dialect but does some things in a very different way.
