gnosis: could you please break the usual `no editorializing the title' rule for once?
I believe it's interesting and informative and deserves more than a cursory pass, but without `Lisp' in the title, it's hard to spot.
- gnosis 16y agoI considered adding Lisp in to the title, but wasn't quite sure how to phrase it. "A Lisp cult I almost joined" ? "A cult I almost joined [Lisp]" ? Also, there's something to be said for keeping the title as is, as it's a bit more mysterious.. and may pique the reader's interest to find out what the cult is. Putting "Lisp" in the title kind of spoils the surprise.

- gnosis 16y agoAlright. I like this phrasing. It is less mysterious.. but at least those interested in Lisp can find it. You know, I was just thinking.. this is yet another reason for HN to allow tags. As with tags the title could remain untouched and we'd still be able to categorize it as a Lisp-themed article, and even that it came from 2005.
