I actually make almost daily use of a social news site that's written in a Lisp dialect. The guy who wrote it had a prior success with Lisp. If you're interested email me and I'll send you the link.
- mynameishere 19y agoOkay, Yet-another-digg-clone versus http://www.research.att.com/~bs/applications.html http://www.research.att.com/~bs/applications.html ...and that list is woefully abbreviated.
- brlewis 19y agoAh, so you're ready to change the argument to counting applications. Nobody's arguing that the count of Lisp applications is high. I'd only argue that the success stories are out there.
- Goladus 19y agoSuppose we are traveling through a forest and come to a ravine. The drop is thousands of feet; so far away that we can't see who might have fallen to their death while attempting to cross. There are two bridges. One is a jumbled together mass of rotting boards and vines, the other is made of solid stone. We know that 500 people have crossed the rotting wooden bridge successfully, and know of only four who have crossed the stone bridge. Which bridge do you think we should take?
- Hexstream 19y agoNot exactly sure what you mean but my answer is: Neither before also knowing how many people attempted to cross each bridge, so I know the success ratio for each.
- pstuart 19y agoI see what you've done there.
