Yes, honestly, I love lisp, although my only claim to being a lisp programmer is that I'm the author of some emacs packages. But I have to admit that yes I've noticed a definite tendency for people in the emacs lisp community to be abrasive and difficult and not very friendly in open source work. I think perhaps more of them are in university-related jobs in europe and hence haven't experienced the wonderful fake friendliness of california tech companies.
- mbrodersen 5y agoI don’t think Lisp is popular in European academia? Europe is very much hard core type theory. Just look at Coq, Idris, Haskell etc.
- mbrodersen 5y agoThanks for being honest about it. Lots of kudos! It is fine to be happy with a specific language. It is not fine (and very immature) to assume everybody else are idiots. Especially when those “idiots” have created all the software we use.
