Ali, as for Lisp, my impression is that Common Lisp was an attempt to include pretty much every feature from pretty much every version of Lisp available at the time, making almost every option "implementation dependent." That way, the Lisp vendors could have a standard to sell into corporate America, who's more comfortable buying an "industry standard"... and let the developers sort it out later. As the spec itself says, "Common Lisp was designed as a description of a family of languages." Anyway my focus is now on Smalltalk. After I feel confident with that, I will then take another look at Lisp.
Yes, I'll post my Smalltalk notes as I go. I think you might also really enjoy this approach to software. I believe that if explained well it's actually simple and fun to learn. Just for grins, I will bring in some Law of One concepts in my explanations.
