I don't think you really have to learn a bunch more stuff, but I think it'll be a really nice experience for you to learn a language like Elixir to in the end use Phoenix to set up a web page. Not because you need it, but becaus

This article just comes across as pretentious, honestly. The part about being beaten as some kind of teaching tool is only remotely accepted because it's 'another culture'. It's all bullshit. It's fish on rice. Some

Making the mistake wasn't the stupid part, we all make mistakes. Trying to use it as an opportunity against your competitor is. That's not a choice made by individuals; it's a company acting stupid officially, with intent.

I find that interesting, considering that most of the points you raised about Clojure not being a Lisp would indicate that you think Racket is a Lisp. You've also been nothing but vague in terms of what makes Racket not a Lisp, which i

by 59nadir 11y ago
Yes. I was asking you, because you have ideas of what makes a Lisp a Lisp. I've given you several reasons that by your own admission were important for a Lisp being a Lisp and I'm wondering, considering what you've said was i

Clojure explicitly makes '()' and '[]' different, as well as a few other delimiters. '(1 2 3) is a list like in Lisp tradition, but [1 2 3] is a vector. That is the syntax that the parent is talking about.

You're bunching Clojure in with several languages that have strayed far further from Lisp. Clojure was designed specifically with the intent of being a dialect of Lisp, which means it's explicitly not in its own language family

> That's true. Clojure is not a Lisp, but partially derived from it. Clojure is a Lisp. It may not be Lisp, but it's a Lisp. Just like any nix OS is not UNIX but is a Unix OS. Clojure is most definitely a dialect of Lisp.
