C++ is a horrible, horrible language. It takes everything that is good
and useful about C and destroys it. But C++11 and Boost make it an
expressive enough system. Apart from the fact that C's string and stream
libraries are still more useful thirty years after C++ began.

Lisp is beautiful. It's Magritte's armchair in code terms, but in a good
way. Have you tried Practical Common Lisp? It's avaialable online:
