What do you mean by "double digit times"? Your whole statement is almost completely lost because I can't tell if you think Lisp is fast or slow. Generally people say Lisps are good at prototyping and I'd agree, Clojure is super fast.
- tmtvl 4y agoI'm talking about the table which shows development time in hours, as well as lines of code and lines of documentation. Come to think of it, I wonder if they counted docstrings as documentation or code?
- lispm 4y agoI would guess that they used a very declarative style of Lisp programming, where much of the code looks like a specification. Here they used Common Lisp enhanced with a relational programming model, like an in-core database with an embedded query language. The developer(s) were probably quite experienced with it.
