Land of Lisp is fun, and the video is a must![0]; I also really like Norvig's PAIP (Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming, available for free now on GitHub[1]). PAIP shows ways of programming in Lisp that really are unlike what I've seen in most other languages. Lately I have been working the Exercism exercises and there are over 80 Common Lisp problems, with more problems being added over time (my hope is to finish what's there and then help by adding some more).

Barski's music video[1] might give some more flavor to PG's comment. Brightens my day every time I watch it. [1] ▶ this video

> Compared to Symbolics CL looks like a mess at least from reading the books. Which books, may I know? The Common Lisp Hyperspec is one of the best reference manuals for a programming language, ever. But it is not a tutorial nor a how-to guide! Try "Pratical Common Lisp". Or "Land of Lisp" if you want to have lots of fun. simple but refined, guaranteed to blow your mind... ▶ this video

More than decade ago, I didn't understand an actual value of Lisp, but I remember this song well. ▶ this video

The Land of Lisp ▶ this video (but I'd argue it wasn't until InterLISP and Smalltalk that all the pieces were there)

It depends on what you mean by "learn". JS is much easier to become bad at quickly, which is not a bad thing. Lisp is an ever-expanding paradigm, but you can learn it at a steady pace like JS. JS is directly transferrable to similar-syntax languages, yes. But Lisp provides insight into techniques that will expand your knowledge and understanding of all programming languages. Does JS have a music video like this? (The Land of Lisp) ▶ this video

The Lisp programming community represent the artistic pinnacle of the computing world. Not only do they produce art like this which really gives Pixar a run for their money, but behold the creative majesty of "The Land of Lisp": ▶ this video This REALLY shows how the Lisp community can put the psychedelic giants of the late 60's to shame. Or consider Julia Ecklar's quintessential "The Eternal Flame": [link] Susanna Hoffs ain't got nothing on this one. It's no surprise that this incredible programming language has taken the world by storm, become an Enterprise programming juggernaut, dominating both the technical and creative landscapes all at the same time.
