Bill Clementson's Blog: The Most Important Idea in Computer Science: "Lisp is the most important idea in computer science."
Remember that. And be afraid. Well, not afraid. Think about this. Lisp is it's own compiler. It's a pimp language that scares people with ()'s. And it can do darn near anything and a lot of the libraries to do it are already out there. And shoot, Reddit is written in it. And that's sweet.

Gotta agree on all of those points but the last - the Reddit guys rewrote it in Python a couple of months ago. Caused wailing and gnashing of teeth in the Lisp community, you can see some of the gnashing with a Usenet search in comp.lang.lisp.
