Regarding Lisp
Things got complicated quickly. I was writing too much code to achieve simple things. Plus I was writing a lot of one-off code. I prefer to write as much reusable code a I can. Mostly because I'm lazy and I like to keep things simple.
I'd be interested to hear more details on this. Writing non-reusable code and lisp seems antithetical to me. Do you mean the lack of libraries and interfaces to other services?
- capisce 13y agoYeah, it sounds very dubious to me that the amount of code in Go ends up being much less than what's required to achieve the same in Lisp. From what I've seen Go looks verbose in comparison with the lack of macros and higher level programming.
- orangethirty 13y agoIt has proven to be less verbose for this project. Probably due to my lack of Lisp skills. I have been in love with Lisp for years, and study it actively. But I'm not a PG with it. Sadly, my natural programming skills are not that great.
- orangethirty 13y agoIts a combination of that factor, and my lack of understanding of the problem. Personally, I did not feel Lisp was very fitting to my work flow and goals. It still is one of my favourite languages, but not the right choice for this project.
