I'll believe that it's useful when unenlightened plebs like me start getting money thrown at them for writing lisp code. So far the industry seems to disagree with you about what's useful.

As someone who has used make a lot, screw writing makefiles. It's too low-level and I want to be able to build my stuff without lots of headache on multiple platforms (which includes Windows). I hate CMake's weird language, but ev

I tried Go. It didn't really impress me, to be honest. I get that they're trying to build a nice, coherent language and, but they do that by simply avoiding doing all the things that are hard. I don't see any compelling reaso

This is simply this generation's "1337 haxx0rz". Back when I was in school, Matrix was popular, and the term "hacker" had very different connotations. People would call themselves "cyberpunk", "1337&q

You're right, but consider this: they managed to rid themselves of Python's GIL by not using Python. If they can actually reap the benefits of parallelism, it means a lot for scalability.
