I don't know what relevance this has. Can someone explain? I am pretty new to the programming world. Just started writing R scripts (and my first package) about 3 years ago. I haven't learned python yet (beyond a few simple things to get me through the odd jupyter notebook). I am, however, using emacs on a daily basis. So lisp, and specifically, emacs lisp has been on my to-do list to learn. Why do people like lisp so much? And what does it mean for a language to be a dialect of lisp (scheme)?
