What? I don't think the majority of people interested in lisp are going into work looking down their noses at people. They're probably mostly people who like to try different tools and learn new things. I don't use lisp but I loved reading through PG's ANSI Common Lisp book because it really challenged me to think about programming and problem solving in a way I never had before. I think I write better code because I did learn lisp.

- CJefferson 8y agoGo and read http://wiki.c2.com/?BlubParadox http://wiki.c2.com/?BlubParadox . I've heard many lisp people reference this, which basically says lisp is so great that it is the best language which could possibly exist, and people who don't think that just think that because the languages they like are too stupid to let them appreciate lisp.
- peterashford 8y agoYup. I love Lisp - very glad I learned it, but I find PG's Blub Paradox essay enormously offensive.
