This entire thread of backstabbing selfishness is why Lisp and Lisp people never accomplished anything.
Go lock yourselves in your own personal Orthancs weaving unreadable code and leave the rest of the world alone.
- mordocai 11y agoQuite frankly, the only reason this is a point of contention is because the author named their talk "Finally a useful Lisp". If they had just said "A new awesome Lisp" or something, they wouldn't be getting so much hate. Personally, I think Clojure is great. I like Common Lisp better. I also use Emacs Lisp and play around in Racket Scheme. It's when people try to say that their Lisp is the only useful one that us lispers get pissed off.
