"The reason for this, I think, is that Lisp allows you to be so productive that a single person can get things done without having to work together with anyone else, and so Lisp programmers never develop the social skills needed to work effectively as a member of a team."
That's IT! I just decided to quit Lisp and program in C from now on. And all this time I wondered why I have no social skills... But now everything will be fine!!!
- Jesin 19y agoIf this is your goal, C isn't the best choice either. I'd suggest Java or C#.
- cstejerean 19y agoC is a pretty good goal. It takes a lot of effort to get anything working in C, so the only reasonable approach is to find others to collaborate with. It "forces" you into being social.
- gruseom 19y agoYou're quoting a statement by Ron Garret which I find rather thought provoking and not at all ridiculous. But what puzzles me is, why are you quoting it here?
- Hexstream 19y agoIt was just a joke in good earth. But now I see how you read it. I'll try to double-check my post for ambiguïties next time.
