"How many computing technologies from 1969 are we still in daily contact with?"
Lisp? We're all reading HN which is written in some Lisp dialect. There are also quite a few Clojure devs in here (including me) and a few using other Lisp dialects (and participating in flamewars about what a true Lisp is or is not). Don't know if it counts ^ ^
And then not 1969 but 1976: daily Emacs user here...
- chubot 13y agoYup, Lisp will definitely be around long after most of the technologies we read about today :) I have yet to do much with Clojure, mainly because I'm not really in the JVM ecosystem. But I think its focus on immutability is a great contribution to Lisp and will last a long time. It's an idea that transcends a particular implementation.
