As always, it depends on your application. For instance I decided recently that I would work my way through the cryptopals challenges, and opted to avoid Lisp since bit-twiddling is such a pain in that language.
- ska 7y agoas I recall bit-twiddling isn't actually too painful in common lisp, but certainly is in some other lisps.
- p_l 7y agoSince bits are addressable directly in Common Lisp, I found the language to be very very nice for bit twiddling. Maybe you're mixing it up with Clojure? (bit twiddling in clojure without extra libs is a PITA).
