| Academic research takes place in LISP, serious commercial development is done in C/C++, Assembly, and a variety of GP/GPU languages, mostly C/C++ based. No offence to the academics, but LISP is worthless for real world applications.

| LISP may not be any use "for real world applications", but if you learn some functional language like some language from LISP or ML families, you learn to think in completely new ways that can be some help when writing real world applications in big and hairy real world languages. |

C/C++ is the perfection which all other languages strive to attain. All languages either evolve to the point where they implement the C/C++ standard, or they don't.

| Paul Graham disagrees with abachler's assertion, and he elaborates on his disagreement in his essay: Beating the Averages. @abachler: you have a wonderful penchant for taking photos with books while bare chested

And I disagree with many of his statements about startups being able to use whatever language they want. Having worked for a few startups. its usually the 'odd' thing that kills the company. Large companies can afford to take a risk with $1M budget and having to rewrite the software in a standard language if it fails. $1M will kill most startups. The owners try to be too cutting edge and it bites them in the arse when their cool idea turns out to be nothing more than the minds attempt to make meaning out of random dying synaptic connections.

MIT does have a Project called Oxygen .Where it is geard towards making hardware and software for Artifical intellegence .. I am learning low level language . One of the reaons would be to be able to understand most of the materials at .:: Phrack Magazine ::. and also a need to be able to built my own computer from scratch .. I might like to get into the creating of embedded devices that are AI ready .. I do program in C and i wont be thinking of leaving it ..plus it wont hurt knowing more than 2 languages .. anyways ..thanks for the reply .. ill be spending some time at learning LISP from now own .. thanks
