Okay. So what's your rationale?
- UncleMeat 7y agoJava, in my mind, has a better ecosystem. It is easier to find useful tools and to integrate them into my development environment. There is a larger community of developers who are available to answer questions and there has been much more content written about how to do high quality engineering as a java dev. As a team lead, this makes my job immensely easier because I can point people towards high quality writing. Lisp, by comparison, remains completely niche. The actual programming language is like the least interesting part of almost all development. It is but a tiny part of the whole system that lets us build and maintain software in teams. There are some people who really want to develop in a specific language. These people tend to lead with "we program in haskell" or "we program in lisp" in their recruiting emails. That's fine for some people but its not interesting to me. I care a lot more about the stuff around the programs.
