Everything worthwhile about Lisp has been integrated into TypeScript and JavaScript.
- coldtea 3y agoYeah, the same way everything worthwhile about spring water can be found in mud.
- erik_seaberg 3y agoExtending the JavaScript grammar into a domain-specific language, and then generating conforming code to run, almost requires adding Babel.js to your build and then doing a lot more work than writing a Lisp macro. Most devs probably never will.
- DonHopkins 3y agoNot homoiconicity and macros. And in the case of TypeScript, not interactivity. Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?
