should i go with Clojure or common Lisp? i’m looking for an intuitive language and the tooling is great. my background: Ruby programmer and i use neovim. my goal: AI development. do people really use Lisp family for AI dev tho?

    You might want to check out Nim-lang (3 options for deep-learning, Arraymancer being the most popular and active) (also considering how much AI stuff is on Python, you can call Nim code from Python via Nimpy)

    I mostly just find it the most intuitive (for the performance/capability it offers) though, as in I haven’t done much (certainly not AI stuff) and can’t tell you if it’s the best for functional programming (other than that Nim takes inspiration from Lisp). Though I do see that some Nim users have said it’s not purely functional (it may be on you to make sure your code is) and that other options might be better if it’s a priority.
