I researched this question thoroughly earlier this year and decided that C was the best language for AI. For a few reasons:

a) You can find examples of all the standard AI algorithms online

b) It doesn't get much faster then C

c) There is a huge C community so you'll be able to find more developers easily if the project takes off (the main drawback of LISP)

That´s a really good point dmix, C is amazing and i already have experience with it. But let´s make some thing clear ...

a) Interesting, but i´m planning to write my own algorithms

b) C speed is just unique, maybe only lose for assembly

c) True, a very decisive factor.
