This is called “The Paradox of the Active User” and it underlies an enormous amount of why our world sucks (not that it all sucks, but this underlies much of where it does). In short: I’m too busy to learn something that will make me so much happier and more productive forever. (Aka. “I’ll just sit in the dark.” :-)
- carapace 4y agoPerhaps perversely, your comment is almost, but not quite, enough to push me to make a second run at it. I mean, I goddamned know CL is better. :) Cheers! I've pondered what strange reasons might lurk in the depths of me psyche that could be inhibiting from using Lisp.

- johnbendi 4y agoI don't think that's the right mindset to have. One should just learn to appreciate diversity. One shouldn't approach any language with the view that one is about to discover a language that rules them all. Just learn with a view to discover the strengths and weaknesses of whatever language you are dealing with at that moment, as every language must have those.
