I am the writer of the article in question, and probably I can answer some of the points raised. (I noticed this entry late through the HackerNews RSS feed.)
@Maciek416 : I can relate to what you said. I am working on this -- http://code.google.com/p/bitumenframework/ http://code.google.com/p/bitumenframework/
@mahmud : I can understand your frustration. My target audience were Java people unaware of LISP/FP & benefits.
@jimbokun : I agree with what you said. The reason I said "lots of parentheses" is that's how most LISP newbies perceive it. I wanted to get people to agree with what I said before I can expect them to adopt. In a friendly way.
@yannis : I think even Rich Hickey's PDF was great. ;-)
- gruseom 17y agoLISP newbies Irony alert. Edit: ok, I lasted 4 minutes. I can't in good conscience be another Lisp asshole. My point is that no one who uses Lisp has spelled it "LISP" for years.
- shantanu_k06 17y agoOops! My fault. Since I am not a seasoned Lisp hacker (actually I am only a Clojure newbie), my subconscious filter didn't automatically detect it. I remember having read that distinction somewhere earlier. Thanks for the reminder. :-)
