Kind off-topic but related: sometimes I wonder how web development would be if Lisp had somehow won as standard, since we can use to do everything the stack HTML+CSS+JS+Backend-language does, in addition to standardized syntax and standard everything.
Oh, standards. Standards.

- TeMPOraL 7y agoWe were so close. Twice, JavaScript had a chance to be Scheme; both times marketing reasons prevailed (first, to capitalize on the marketing spending of Java; later, to compete against Microsoft's JScript). If Scheme was the language of the web, then HTML and CSS being represented as s-expressions would be the most obvious next steps, and we'd be like 15 years ahead in terms of progress.

- Razengan 7y agoPopularity can be faked through marketing.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoPopularity can only be faked via shills and poll rigging. Perhaps you mean something else?
- buckminster 7y agoYou say that like marketing and shilling are two wholly distinct activities. Have you heard of Instagram?
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoOne is people pretending to like something or wrongly saying people like something. The other is people liking something for the wrong reasons. These are completely two different concepts.
