> it's mind-bending how much I can accomplish alone which proves that Lisp and the "bipolar Lisp programmer" are not necessarily related together. I think BBM's prefer Lisp because it is really convenient to develop without having to be dependent on others. C++ may be considered a "social" language, however I discovered that it is not the language itself which encourages social development but some coders make so silly mistakes that they actually need the help of others to fix them. For instance, some devs open files without closing them, etc. I wonder if those people would actually write cleaner code with Lisp because such silly mistakes are not so easy in Lisp due to is structured programming (with-open-file ...). Also buffer overflows and the like are much harder to accomplish in Lisp than in C++. Some devs, in particular Edi Weitz and the quicklisp authors are evidence that Lisp preference and social interest are not mutually exclusive. http://weitz.de/lisp.html http://weitz.de/lisp.html
