I'm not sure I'd say lisp is a "modern" language... It's the second oldest high-level language, originally specified in the late 50s.

However, you mention that you learned Python after other languages. Do you have any good tips for getting into the python mindset? When I try scripting in it, I find myself googleing "what's this PHP/C++ function in Python" a lot :p
