My interpretation of this is that Common Lisp is a computer scientist's language (lots of code written in it, very few questions, presumably these are very advanced level questions).
On the other hand, C# and Visual Basic are weekend coders' languages (reasonable amounts of code, massive amounts of very basic level questions).
- wavesounds 14y agoReally? I always thought MS languages were what you coded if you worked on Enterprise stuff during the week, then on the weekends you bust out the open source languages.
- dagw 14y agoI code python at my day job, and my latest weekend project is in C#. So far I'm really liking C#.

- josteink 14y agoSeconded. In C#'s favourite environment (Visual Studio) the GIT-support is so far from seamless that it's one of the last source-control/VCS's you'll consider.
- nahname 14y agoDoes that matter because of the missing feature (which is actually pretty good if you try git-extensions or github for windows) or is this because of the community? Not needing editor/IDE integration is one of the primary reasons git is better than other source control options. You could easily make the case that VS users are not comfortable on the command line.
- GlennS 14y agoI'd suggest it's just as likely that Stack Overflow has a slight bias in favour of .NET. It's written in .NET, its creators blogs talk about .NET, and a lot of the higher profile members of the .NET community regularly answer questions on there.
