From the linked article:
> Lisp is the language that comes most natural to me, I'm most productive with, and gives me joy and not just fun
Can you elaborate on why please? It feels relevant to this article.
- pamoroso 3y agoI'm the author of the linked post. I'm not sure what you're specifically interested in as coming natural, being productive, and giving joy are largely subjective reasons for preferring a language. For example, I can say in Lisp it's easier for me to start writing and evolving programs which in turn allows me to produce more code than in other languages. As for the joy, it comes in part from the instant gratification of a low friction environment where you can evaluate -- and see running -- anything from an individual atom to a full program.
- cantSpellSober 3y agoThanks, sorry I wasn't more specific, I'm learning it and was just interested in your thoughts.

- imachine1980_ 3y agoNot the author, for me lisp is the only langues I can write in pen and paper, and I can think the code as simple a different mathematical notation, real lisp is little different than that but you can check the code and retry the part that works different than you expected, make me work in different level of abstraction than opp programming.
