He could have just said "I only use stuff well-supported on OSX". This isn't about Lisp, really. He'll face this dilemma "X vs OSX" over and over and over again

He could have just said "I only use stuff well-supported on OSX". This isn't about Lisp, really. He'll face this dilemma "X vs OSX" over and over and over again, where X can be anything, from latest vim goodies to some arbitrary libraries.
I was in the same situation and I simply ditched OSX: it just can't rival Linux as an ultimate programmers' world exploration vehicle. Ironically, it was Python and some Python libraries that drove me to Linux.
I have a Mac too, of course, as an ultimate Safari+Photoshop machine.

- icey 18y agoWell, I'm glad someone saw it, because google seems to have killed it :(
- bayareaguy 18y agoHe could be running linux or freebsd on it.
- tx 18y agoProbably Debian, most serious hackers are all on Debian - what else can it possibly be? I seriously doubt he's running Windows on a Mac...
