LISP requires too much creativity. You have to develop your own constructs to do anything. Whereas most languages like Python and C++ have idiomatic ways of doing things, with LISP the whole idea is to create your own DSL for every little task. LISP is "more than one way to skin the cat" taken to the extreme.
Haskell is more like rigid and Vulcan-like. Programs are proofs. You don't need to implement your own DSL and/or "universe" to solve a problem. Macros are superfluous. Haskell is the opposite extreme of LISP in that the left brain1 dominates.
1 The left/right brain dichotomy might be outdated, but I'm just referring to the general idea of creativity versus raw analytic problem solving.
>>4 Ha, >>1 reminds me of those feminist papers like on logic (reinterpret the laws of identity to allow non-binary identities) or glaciology (men penetrating glaciers with their drills, all the stuff) by people who have zero idea what they are talking about.

>>4,5 Shut the fuck up. Writing LISP programs needs more mental creativity. The observation holds.
Haskell is more like C++ than it is like LISP.

And I don't even know where to begin about what the fuck you're trying to get at with Haskell.

LISP is yonic, the parentheses () clearly represent the vaginal opening, the classic (lambda (x) (x x)) symbolizes new life infinitely emerging from a vagina, then becoming a mother itself, using the power of two X chromosomes.
Haskell is phallic, with its rigid, turgid type structure and countless user-defined operators that look like penises and sperms.

I just read on wikipedia that Roomba's programming is done in Lisp. That's kind of cool. Lisp is responsible for keeping homes clean, or ensuring dog shit is smeared maximally, depending on your circumstance.

>>33 Let it be known, that I am. There is nothing in there that isn't either better taught in basic data structures and algorithm books, or more real-worldishly done in real machine learning material. This book is an anachronism and is better suited to teaching history of the field pre-AI winter.

>>36 AI is just a big pile of subjects from all corners of CS, it isn't really that weird that all of it can be found in books on other subjects as well. AI seems to be literally "implementing algorithms and data structures in order to simulate intelligence"

I don't really understand the "creativity vs analytic problem solving" dichotomy. Doesn't problem solving always require creativity, and doesn't artistic creativity always require some level of boring technical drudgery? They feel like literally the same thing to me.

LISP macros can behave entirely differently if the third character of a variable is a vowel.

If every possible need can be meet, you'll never be unable to do what you happen to want.
