[ABE.pm] Choosing between Ruby and Lisp

As I started my Ruby reading (pickaxe2), I digressed to a fair amount of 
reading about Lisp.  I'm now contemplating switching to Lisp.

I'm seeking general comments, and have some specific questions:

   * I'm fairly certain Lisp will have a steeper learning curve than Ruby?

   * Can I find the libraries I'll need (widgets including editors/renderers 
for plain text, HTML (or a browser), maybe some other like RTF)?
