My assumption is that not everyone is an enterprise/web Lisp developer - is it possible the content may be interesting to those who aren't?

- mahmud 17y agoI would love to encourage submission of articles on Lisp dialects, but this one is completely useless. Nothing you couldn't have learned from the wikipedia page on clojure or any other Lisp. [Edit: It's not the writer's fault, he might have had a different audience in mind, but the submitter should have known better.]
- icey 17y agoWell, the question is one of discovery, right? Posts like this one are useful for people who don't have Lisp on their radar yet. They've heard about Clojure and how it's awesome, but they think "I don't have a problem that requires functional programming", or they hear about the awesomeness of Common Lisp, and they think "I don't want to learn emacs". I think there's value in spelling out the obvious because there will always be new eyes around to read it. In the worst case, it's a few paragraphs that are obvious to to someone who has any familiarity with Lisp. In the best case, it brings someone new to the table.
