When you're trying to do something that hasn't been already done programming-wise. For most other cases you would be better served by a language with a healthy and large ecosystem.
- rscho 5y agoI agree, and this translates into the real world. That's exactly what lisp has been and is used for (research in quantum computing, for a current example). Still, it's not a bad thing to try to extend the user base as it translates to more libs and better implementations. Many new things are mostly same-old same-old with a sprinkle of 'new' glitter on top!
