> Most software that has been continuously developed over a long period of time is either C or C++, even though Lisp predates both by over a decade. There's a reason for that

- georgia_peach 4y agoI run hundreds of C/C++ programs on a daily basis. Many of these have been running for months on end, yet my memory chart remains a flat line. Can the Mossad hack me? Sure. Would Lisp stop them? Probably not. Ron Minnich gave a talk a few years back titled, "If You Trust Your Computer, You're Crazy!" How many of Ron's points do Lisp & Rust fully address? By my count, zero.
