- personjerry 10y agoAh, this is not the quality content I like to see on HN but was written with such... charm?
- adrusi 10y agoIt's the me_irl charm. Edit: before anyone else downvotes me for — what, being superficially too meme-y? — I'll clarify that the purpose of this comment was to point out that the "charm" that personjerry found in the toplevel comment can be found all over the place, and that it's down to a formula. Personally, I'm fond of it regardless.
- castis 10y agoedit: lol nevermind, I always forget the nerd collective doesn't like humor on their precious HN.

- rubber_duck 10y agoIs lisp functional programming ?
- fgonzag 10y agoIts most direct influence is lambda calculus itself, yes I'd consider it a functional programming language. It doesn't even support OOP unless you layer CLOS on top of it, and you won't get anywhere if you try imperative programming with it.
- dmos62 10y agoYou can create any DSL you like on lisp. Though with lisp you generally choose something better than the above mentioned paradigms.
