Other languages scale smoothly from beginner to expert. So I guess that your assertion shows that Lisp is a less useful language?
Experienced programmers using non-Lisp languages are successful every day. Your OS/mobile phone/browser/… is the result of their work. So I guess other languages are better for experienced developers as well?
In other words, the real world evidence seems to suggest that Lisp is not good for beginners and not good for experienced developers.
- mbrodersen 5y agoIt would be really nice to see all the awesome code written by the Lisp lover who downvoted this post. Because Lisp is apparently this magical language that enable you to write world class software so much faster than languages used by the rest of us. So where is it? All of this wonderful Lisp code that is so much better than the C/C++/Java/JavaScript code that actually run the world? I suspect I will have to wait a very long time for a good answer.
