I think I should introduce myself first: I'm 18 years old and currently visiting a school that has as much to do with programming as science has to do with the catholic church. But I've always been interested in this kind of things and always wanted to understand, but never got around to do anything about this. So this is my first programming language (besides an few pages of a book about C++ in the local library) and I'm asking myself if it's a good idea to learn LISP as my first programming language?
I've already started to read a few tutorials and I'm surprised that I'm not more confused as I was when reading about C++, since I expected this to be even harder. Don't judge me for this statement, as I said, I'm new to programming and have pretty much no idea what I'm talking about.
PS: I've got the idea of learning LISP form http://www.xkcd.com (an internet comic, whose creator ocasionally posts LISP-related content)
