I'm usually sceptical about "Why Lisp?" "Practical Common Lisp" offers the confident (and subjective) "You'll get more done, faster, using it than you would using pretty much any other language."
Well, this is much better.
- stmartin 14y agoHow is this so much different than using any other language, C or Java or Perl or whatever - with a good set of middleware libraries? I understand the benefit of having the ultimate DSL - if I can call Lisp that due to it's 'fluid' redefining nature, but as for productivity - I think it's a little overzealous to claim huge productivity boosts when comparing to other langs w/good middleware support who've been around for decades...
