Haskell loses because it takes 2000 lines just to write a logging statement. Scala loses because you can’t even write a fast for loop. Lisp loses because it disrespects 100 years of math.
I’m exaggerating a bit but not by much.
- lanstin 6y agoI don’t get the lisp thing? I thought lisp lost because of lisp weenies and worse (simple) is better as far as writing maintainable code bases?
- tomp 6y agoInstead of writing 1 + 2 as in mathematics, in Lisp you write (+ 1 2). I'm not sure I get the second statement of yours, but personally I find Clojure in particular very inspiring and amazing, if only it had a better syntax...
