I like the LISP programming environment present on many of the LISP machines.
In any case, I like LISP for many reasons, among them are that I know how
to program in LISP; I like the "data is program and program is data" ideas
that LISP embodies. A lot of AI programs are written in LISP and I find it
easier to prototype programs in LISP than other languages.
Icon isn't bad, but again, the Amiga implementation isn't very fast. Besides,
I kinda liked Snobol 4. I don't know Icon very well; I don't have the time
to learn it right now.
At least the Amiga has some good C compilers.
