Hello.

I was hunting around for a language for use in hobbist artificial intelligence designs, and ran into lisp and newlisp. I wonder if this is the language I should use, since it is rather discouraging that all others in the post seem to be very experienced with programming languages. (not to mention the language seem to be in developing phase). I spent about a year each with C++, python, and C, though it's nothing I'm proud about. I would appreciate it if someone can give me a suggestion/guidance regarding the best language for web-integral artificial intelligence programming language. Thank you.

P.S. I really don't mind the amount of effort needed to start working.

Where do you plan to go in A.I.? If you want to study what's already been done, it's probably better to use the dialect of lisp your programs have been written in. If you are "following your own muse" then newLISP is a straightforward implementation that integrates well with the major O.S.'s.

This company http://kozoru.com does AI work using newLISP to build a bigger distributed application. Some of the people there have AI Lisp experience with other dialects, but have chosen newLISP to be more appropiate for their work.

Thank you for your replies. It had been most helpful. After some consideration, I've decided to give newlisp a try.
