Well, lisp's concepts would travel to other similar languages..
when you introduce lisp to this foray, you're introducing another
fundamental form of programming called "functional" programming.
I believe Ada is also a member of that family.  Everything else
that's been brought up on this list is of the "structural"
family, although I could be mistaken; I am not very well
educated about the "other" side(s) of the programming fence.
