The habit of disdaining something that recently gained a considerable amount of popularity.
I agree with the article and the author seems like a reasonable and experienced programmer, but the Common Lisp comparisons just felt like hipsterism to me.
- thronemonkey 14y agoAhhh, I see, thanks for the explanation, makes sense.
- scottlocklin 14y agoI do write for the same magazine as the moustachioed founder of hipsterdom, and my favorite Lisp is very obscure (Lush), but I fail to see any hipstery things in what I wrote. I'm a redneck and I lift weights. I don't use Lush for the reasons that skinny hipsters brag about being cool before it was cool; I use it because it's good at numerics.
- wreckimnaked 14y agoLush really seems pretty neat, actually your post motivated me quite a lot to take a closer look at it.
