Generally, it is advisable to cross-post questions like this to at
least 50 other language newsgroups.  For example, you are not giving
Ruby users a fair chance to compare their language to Lisp, Java, and
Python.  Also, you missed Fortran!  The guiding principle should be to
choose a wide range of languages, the more disparate the better.

OTOH, I applaud the lack of specificity.  Lesser minds would have
asked about a specific Lisp dialect, such as CL.  Such things should
be avoided, as they focus the discussion unnecessarily.

Cheers,

Tamas
