Um, you're my hero. Not sure if you know that you have admirers out there. After reading about you, I became confident enough to write a Lisp-based DSL for describing and valuing financial derivative contracts. Yes, those. It directly and indirectly made me richer than I've ever been (that's not saying much, though.)
In the end, we moved to Python for similar reasons.
But you inspired me. Thanks.
- palish 15y agoOh, you can't just leave us hanging like that...! We want to know all about your Lisp experiences; or at least, I would personally love to hear about them.
- cheez 15y agoNot much to know as it was pretty crappy :) Certainly I would not classify it at the same level as GOAL. No debugger, for example. It quickly proved its worth but I wouldn't advocate it to still be used. We found better ways to do the same thing that didn't require as much intellectual masturbation.
