"Translated very easily" suggests they didn't create a domain-specific language for their problem, which to me seems to be missing the point of Lisp. The exotic features of Lisp and Python don't overlap much at all, so the intersection of the two isn't a particularly powerful language. They probably could have ported to any Blub just as readily.
- gbog 15y agoWhy, maybe there are problems that do not require a domain-specific language! Doing something like reddit.com probably require a simple and readable codebase that can be extended and optimized easily. It is not likely that the domain is so complex that it needs macros and all the "clever" stuff.
