What was the point of that comic? That Lisp has no bugs?

  That the methodology of lisp coding leads to less bugs. I'm not going to say that's true, but that's one of the points of the comic.

    I would phrase it a bit differently: Lisp gives you great tools for fighting bugs (which most code initially will have). In that sense, the comic i right. Also, given all the powerful features, the programmer is more productive and can spend more time on bug-hunting.

      Personally I didn't get that message amid all the cutesiness, and I don't see how anyone would get that message if they weren't coming to the comic with that belief already. Preaching to the choir.

      Can you elaborate on what Lisp gives you to fight bugs that other languages doesn’t have? I know Lisp quite well and I am not sure what specifically you are thinking about?
