Rofl, it takes less than an hour to write a general bubblesort function in C/C++, without ever touching Lisp (I've done it myself). If I want to learn algorythms, I'll take a logics or conditional math course. If you're a programmer, you're going to shine if you never settle for anything less than the best, shortest algorythm you can come up with. Lisp or no Lisp. Personally, I'd rather spend my time gaining exp with the language I'm using rather than learn some abstract syntax noone in the industry uses just to learn what I'd be creating in C/C++ in the first place.
