This is hardly believable to me. How did you arrive at that conclusion? Isn't the community of Rust, a language I think that you can safely call a lot more popular than Lisp these days, also very vocal about supporting LGBTQ+ rights?
- DonHopkins 3y agoBut Lisp has a much longer tradition of terrifying social and linguistic conservatives since 1959. And look at all the social conservatives desperately fighting against the inclusivity of the Rust and other communities, which kind of proves my point that it terrifies and threatens them.
- stnmtn 3y agoWhat is an example of when conservatives have taken a big stance, or been terrified by Lisp?
