This sounds like a metaphor designed to stroke the ego of Lisp programmers but quite disconnected from the realities of the various programming languages. > Other languages are more like "playing guitar hero", most of the work is done for you and it it way easier to learn. What does that even mean? Python might be easier to learn than Lisp, but surely C++ is much harder to learn and impossible to master. And if you talk about "batteries included", Python may have more but C has obviously much less than Lisp. Lisp is a fine language, but the ridiculous claims is hurting it more than helping it. I do not believe claims about the amazing productivity of Lisp from someone who doesn't know the difference between C++ and Python.
