You should also look into Clojure, especially if you're interested in getting into concurrency and functional programming. I recommend using Enclojure+Netbeans for a user friendly introduction to a very powerful new Lisp.

Java is not really my field. However, I have half a mind to learn F#.

Java and JVM are different beasts, the later is a solid foundation for clojure. I'm not a Java guy at all, never used or learned it but still using clojure with great success and fun.

I think we need a linkbait article about whether or not F# is an acceptable Lisp before I seriously consider it.

I don't really care if it is an acceptable Lisp when I decide if I will or will not learn something. :P

BUT, I will use that excuse on my teacher on the Calculus class.

F# is based on ML not Lisp.
