You know what's not going to improve the industry? Teaching newbies the same shitty languages they've always used.
LISP had its run a long time ago.  Turned out it just wasn't that good.  When C came along, the industry switched, because you could actually get shit done with it.  Now there are ^{even more} productive languages around, and lots of people use them as well.  But NOBODY writes in LISP '(except as an academic exercise), because it's a useless toy.  A historical curiosity.
