Just to be entirely clear, are you disagreeing with the author about the suitability of Lisp for video game development?

  The author is noted for using Lisp for game development.

    The author says: > I am not going to make any bigger claims on the community or industry as a whole so this is just where I’m at right now. I’ll also touch a little on why I’m not using lisp for my current games.

      Also says: > CL is a great language that still has a lot to give. I’m gonna be using it for a long time including for games. It lives in the place of being fantastic and performant for scripting and also having the control to be truly viable for higher performance code. The implantation specific extensions to the language open up a ton of possibilities for squeezing more out of the machine and the abilities that macros afford us means there is a lot of meaningful stuff we can do trivially that require complex and unwieldy systems in other languages. And: > I’d heartily recommend making a non-trivial game in lisp.

        Kay. But they did have some criticisms, and we may take it that you disagree with those?
