Lisp

• xyzzyz 15y ago
  Speaking as a (Common) Lisp fan, Lisp is obviously hardly a good choice for Unix application -- it's completely orthogonal to Unix philosophy, and major modern free CL environments integrate pretty bad with Unix (I'm talking about SBCL and Clozure). It's especially bad for console tools like git, where loading multi megabyte core image every time is unacceptable.

    Oh I agree entirely. The real problem lies further up the stack - is UNIX the right solution?

      Another irony in his statement that I didn't want to comment on seeing how the C one got most people pissed off enough.
