Is that only a recency bias ? Because I learned Scheme first ? When I try CL I find my mind resisting some things due to purely elegance reasons.
If someone put a gun to my head and asked me for a deliverable quickly I will go with CL to save my life of course, but for my own personal pleasure I will always prefer Scheme.
