It is too bad your example does not really convey anything interesting about the differences between clisp and Java.
The only thing I get from your essay is that Common Lisp has a REPL, which is sad because clisp is actually fun and interesting, and has a lot of VERY DIFFERENT things going for it.
Size of source code has never been a measure of the power of the language.
- tsotha 15y agoI agree a "hello world" program is a good place to start learning but a terrible place to start comparing. To be fair, though, to really show the benefits of Lisp style programming you'd have to write something quite a bit longer. Long enough, in fact, you'd have trouble enticing people to read it.
