> It's well known that much of his 'advice' is useless. The number of bullshit posts by him is a bignum. I wanted to check this. How easy would it be to find something trolling-like, written by Xah? Turns out it took only 3 tries when searching for "Xah Lee" on googlegroups comp.lang.lisp. The third post I clicked revealed this gem: there's a good solution to lisp's non-functional ways. BAN lispers from using list or cons. Everything should be vector/array instead. everytime a cons is involved, lispers should get a electric shock. that will immediately fix majority of lisp's non-functional programing in practice. though, i'll have to say, the more i read about Clojure, the better it seems. It is very functional, the savior of the lisp name. ...I wasted a bit of time on this and I'm not sure it was worth it, but I'm pasting this here to strengthen lispm argument by replacing "it's well known" with a concrete example.
