I have worked with a few languages already but these are my current interests. Yeah I briefly have looked at Lisp I remember the unique syntax. I'm looking to make web applications, APIs, mobile apps.

Ah! My uncle is a computer scientist and often creates mobile applications with Sencha Touch. What languages have you worked with?

Cool, I'll have to look into Sencha more, I was considering using PhoneGap but this looks really nice! I have used PHP and Perl mostly, with predominantly web programming in jQuery, Coffeescript, or vanilla JS. Recently went back and took a class in C to get some fundamentals, and worked through some tutorials in Ruby but nothing in depth.

For a while I was researching node.js for my current project but I ended up switching to Python with Flask at the last minute because I was running into a ton of issues with the automated node build tools and dependency hell. I'd still like to try node again for an api but so far Flask is working really nicely.
