| Since starting to read HN, the idea has entered my consciousness that there's something of value to be learned in the Lisp family of programming languages. I am primarily a Python programmer now with experience in BASIC, Pascal, Perl, PHP, R, etc but no Lisps. My programming needs are for web apps and for (non-graphical) simulation models. I'm a Windows and Linux user so cross-platform is important. Which Lisp/Scheme variant(s) would be valuable for me to try to learn and use? And what's the best way to learn? |

It also has a web server ( http://docs.racket-lang.org/web-server/ ). I'm using it for a small site, with a few hundreds users.
