Some kind of lisp. I'm considering starting with Scheme and then move to Clojure as it's more comercial.

My goal is just to get used to the way lisps work. Hopefully will find some enlightenment in the end.

I'm already familiar with FP but never really groked all the (((parentheses))).

The real beauty is in how few operators you need to achieve maximal expressiveness in a programming language. It makes other programming languages seem extra. Highly recommend the SICP lectures https://youtu.be/-J_xL4IGhJA
