It definitely is. I started with C++, and at some point I found my way to Common Lisp. At first I was surprised at how many weird names the latter has... and then I got used to them, started to like them, and now I shake my head when I see new languages inventing new names for things that had a perfectly good Lisp name already, probably because they didn't know the concept had already existed for 50+ years...
