Which LISP should I learn? Years ago I read about Scheme and wrote some hello world level code. I learned about lambda functions and currying. I also looked at racket. A few years ago, much of my day job involved the JVM and I was getting sick of Java so I got a book on Clojure, which is a very nice language, but I never wrote any.
A few days ago I downloaded and built the latest version of DrRacket.
Should I go straight to Haskell? Or what about other functional languages? Is Erlang worth a look?
I need something stimulating to distract my brain from the mundane nature of everyday life, and mediocre programming languages.

I've been on one epic sea voyage this summer and planted over 100 trees, amongst other things.

That won't work. You need to plant them on land or they float away.

Spreading invasive species around the world by boat? I presume you are also speculating on lumber futures in anticipation of a big payout when the lumber industry collapses after a lack of healthy inventory of harvestable trees. MI6 has taken interest in your charitable activities, Mr. turgid. Or should I call you by your better know name, Mr. Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
