As for me, I'm still sort of trying Lisp. I'm mustn't be old enough  
cause I just can't acquire a taste for emacs. I find it completely  
impenetrable and the 'reward' of learning Lisp isn't sufficient for  
me to endure it. Every now and then, though, I give it another shot.

Erlang though? Two thumbs up.

Cheers,
Dave
