Which promptly got rewritten after pg left.
EDIT: From the years being here, and having played with LISP myself, it's a language that appeals to a certain type of programmer, who claim to find it very productive compared to other languages.
And everyone else hates it.
So you pick a LISP language you're severely limiting your hire pool.
- kamaal 9y agoThe whole point of picking Lisp as a language for many people is to have a hiring pool of small but good programmers.

- vzcx 9y agoI might even prefer 5 average lisp programmers to 50 code monkeys.
- mbrodersen 9y agoI'd rather have 5 very good programmers (using ANY language) than 50 code monkeys (using ANY language). The problem with the Lisp programmers is that they very likely would not be able to work as a team.
- lispm 9y agoI think this claim has no base. I've worked with Lisp programmers and there was no special problem doing so.
