I use Clojure and Haskell, I live in the future above and beyond what traditional Lisps have ever offered.
I just find the aggrandizement of those-that-came-before obnoxious and unfair to people doing work here and now.
- raganwald 13y agoWhat aggrandizement is this? Or is the very idea of quoting Mr. Kay odious to you? I think this is a simple case of you having an axe to grind, and my post being a rough surface.
- coolsunglasses 13y ago>I think this is a simple case of you having an axe to grind, and my post being a rough surface. Probably so.
- tokenrove 13y agoThe flip side is that people have been reinventing Lisp Machines and Smalltalk environments, poorly, for the last two decades, and many would argue we still aren't at feature-parity with them. It's obnoxious to see people take credit for ideas that predate them and pretend we're innovating.
- coolsunglasses 13y agoI'm pretty happy with Clojure as a next-generation Lisp.
- lispm 13y agoThen you have some work to do...

- coolsunglasses 13y agoDid you have anything useful to contribute here? I'm fine with Clojure because I'm more interested in languages with type systems anyway.
