According to an indepandant survey...

3 out of 4 cool programmers prefer lisp over any other languages. That's right, I asked Louis Kruger (lpkruger@Phoenix.Princeton.EDU), David Petrou (dpetrou@soda.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU), myself, and some random kewl guy off of USENET. All of us except for the random USENET guy agreed that lisp was the most way kewl programming language.

Really!
