As a lisp hacker in the foothills of WA, I think that the OP's article is fairly stupid. I'm over here on the extreme; I wish that my types had more power, that I could do more things with my Lisp macros to more deeply affect live functions. The thing I'm always looking for is how to say more with less, with more expressivity, with more power, and more clarity, but with less code, less complexity.
oh well. I'll just have to write some Lisp tonight. :-)
- mcnamaratw 11y agoI feel like it's horses for courses. Of course there needs to be a mark-up language that's not higher math. Of course that doesn't mean we should all program in Pascal. Things were saner in 1990. Arguments about whether C was "better" or "worse" than Lisp, without giving any application space, tended to fall on bored ears.
