I really did not enjoy Lisp50. I was surprised to discover such a disconnect between the old-school and new-school Lispers. Guy Steele and co really didn't seem to have any interest at all in what people have done with Common Lisp these past 20 years or so. That is a pity because I had always really valued the perceived continuity of the Lisp community.
- davelnewton 11y agoI think Clojure's reception was great--the oldies, overall, were very positive.
- lukego 11y agoAgreed. That was classy. But that is also a sign of them having no interest in the modern Common Lisp community :).
- davelnewton 11y agoI read it differently; I think they thought it was an interesting direction, but only that, another direction. The oldbies are pretty CL-oriented, although obviously many of them have moved on (e.g., Fortress for GLS).
