Re: Lisp
emacs also has a built-in lisp interpreter.
If anyone's considering learning lisp, I would highly encourage you to do so. Learning any functional programming language (Lisp, ML, Scheme, Haskell, etc) and learning it well, will make you a better programmer when using any procedural or OO language (C/C++, Perl, etc), because it helps you to learn to approach problems from different perspectives.
When reviewing resumes at work to decide who we call for a phone-screen, I give bonus points to those who list a functional language in their skill set. (We don't actually have any sort of point system; I just mean that I'm more likely to look more closely at the candidate.) Of course, if you do list it on your resume, you better be able to back it up during the interview.
