I've also been dabbling in Go recently, and I'm finding that the culture surrounding it is one of actually understanding what your code does. My main language is Ruby. It hits many of the same high notes that Lisp programmers talk about, and I enjoy writing it. There's just something about the practical, concrete nature of Go code that appeals to me.

Someone once wrote that "Ruby is an acceptable Lisp."

Is Go your first static language? It's not a particularly good one except for certain niches. You might try some others.

It is, yeah. I've done tutorials in C and Rust and even Haskell at one time or another, but never anything serious. What do you recommend?
