Clearly Lisp is the actual source of all evil ;)

  A semicolon in Lisp starts a comment. Despite how bad some comments can be, I kinda doubt comments are the source of all evil in general.

    I had been hoping this was about lisp comments. :)

    To be fair, it can be a bit terrifying to read a Lisp form that even the author thought required a comment.
    • phoe-krk 5y ago
      Why? Code requires comments regardless of language in order to explain the why as opposed to the what. See e.g. https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/search?q=kludge https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/search?q=kludge for examples.

        Yeah, I’m just riffing off Lisp’s reputation for intellectual overconfidence.

  S-Expressions, the sin is right there in the name.
