>>25Lisp is entirely what you make of it which makes it a double-edge sword. If you believe you can't use it adequately to learn paradigms because the lack of rigidness, I won't argue with that. That just might be a personality thing. To stretch my point a bit, it's a trope that people won't even try lisp because the parens scare them. I never had that problem, but it was still confusing at first. Not liking a syntax is one thing, but refusing to try it... If you can't overcome something trivial as syntax, I think you have bigger problems. That's the kind of stuff that washes over time. Good luck expanding to other concepts.
My answer wasn't BS. I really know all of those languages I mentioned (C, C++, Common-Lisp, Erlang, Haskell, Prolog, Python, Rust, Scheme) and then some. I guess that's the answer to your intended question. Where did I go from Haskell? I learned dozens of languages because I didn't _want_ to be constrained by an ecosystem ever again. Throughout this experience, I keep itching to use the equivalent of lisp macros. It's the most versatile language feature. That's the only reason I hold Lisp to a higher regard.
