From what I've seen of the lisp community, one of their favorite activities is criticizing variants of lisp that aren't their preferred one.
- kazinator 10y agoI made one and haven scarcely had any negative eaction from Lispers, including the Usenet newsgroup comp.lang.lisp. Maybe that's because I didn't go around saying that it's a awesome, new, improved, easy-to-use dialect for the modern world that's going to replace outdated, academic, hard-to-use, stuffy Common Lisp and its ilk. NewLisp in particular has attracted vitriol, and it's because of the arrogant trolling. NewLisp is no worse than, say, AutoLisp, yet AutoLisp doesn't attract flaming every time it is mentioned.
