Introduction

I am a programming language enthusiast with a special love for functional programming languages. I also enjoy cryptography, high-reliability backend systems design, computer science theory, and the occasional graph theory paper.

Which implementation / technology are you most interested in? (Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure ... )

I'm interested in getting to know LISP better in general. My introduction to functional programming came through OCaml, Erlang, and Haskell. Though I have a passing familiarity with LISP (I even wrote a small LISP interpreter once), I've never really done anything substatial with it. If I had to pick a few specific LISPs I'd dig into first though, I'd probably go with Racket and/or Clojure, along with learning a bit more of good ol' Common LISP just for history's sake.
