reflexer··on On Writing a C++ Book
Primer is a really dry reference. It was too boring for me to read it in order. Too many details on not very fun topics from the beginning.

Use python.
reflexer··on Go is Google's language, not ours

reflexer··on CEO Larry Page defends Google on the stand: “Declaring code is not code”

reflexer··on Land of Lisp: Learn to Program in Lisp, One Game at a Time
I've used slimv a bit to play with Common Lisp. It's very handy for sending sexps from vim to repl. Not sure about advanced emacs' slime/swank features. I think it's difficult to find a person which used both editors for Lisp coding to make a meaningful comparison.
reflexer··on Emacs isn't for everyone
I've found slimv.vim not bad for CL after all http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2531
