Because you hate yourself?
I will always remember the CS class I took that was taught in Lisp (it was the only class in that program that used Lisp).
It convinced me I did not want to do software engineering for my career.
I too still remember a Lisp based course class and I was like wtf is this. I think it was an AI class way way before it's popularity of nowadays.
Lisps are elegant and one of my favorite languages to hack with.
