It's positive but still no where near the scale of fossil fuels. If you consider the likely energy need growth of society, exponential maybe, it is really hard to see how solar and wind will cut it. Personally i think a full embracemen

It's hard to argue that it's cheap but I believe the value is there. The quality of their products tends to be second to none and the freedom to combine and it also seems hack is phenomenal.

Your final statement is demonstrably incorrect. The world is full of large software projects not using statically typed FP and actually surprisingly little from the likes of haskell beyond self serving academic noodling.

I have used both in production setting and can say that the tooling for most CL implementations is just plain light years ahead of Clojure, and there is no sign of it really improving. For Clojure the interactive debugging experience is jus

It baffles me that this notion of Lisp as an interpreted language still persists. Common Lisp is a compiled language for all non toy implementations, and in general Lisps have had compilers for decades.

I'm not familiar with the tech but having read the article I feel he was very positive about the TAZ 5 and so doubt he was going out of his way to make it look bad.

The wider assumption is that the UK will actually leave. The referendum was in no way binding.

It's easy to just see it from the pc market perspective but there are a lot of non pc gaming platforms; mobile and consoles. Also is not only about gaming it's also about those fancy GUIs on cars fridges coffee machines etc

If you check the size of the mobile game market and non Xbox console market you will see that it does matter.

In my opinion SC has suffered from extreme feature creep. They should have stayed focused on a core of space sim functionality (whatever was in the initial KS promise). Talk of FPS functionality, for example, was a needless distraction.

Ease of implementation is an excuse for other things in Clojure as well, single pass compiler comes to mind. But I would give up all of these for an interactive debugger. The series below shows how Common Lisp debuggers are light years ahea

Out of curiosity are you referring to vanilla Civ 5 or with Brave New World? I only played with BNW expansion and from what I have heard it improve the game immensely.

How exactly was that not realisable before? Common Lisp is a multi-paradigm programming language, arguably more so than Clojure because it has a fully featured multi dispatch object system as well.

I appreciate your explanation but again it fails to actually show it being useful outside of the context of working around Haskell's strict type system. What the OP and myself would like to see is concrete examples why this is a better

I too would love to know the basis of the "Modern Lisp" meme. There is very little in Clojure that has not been done before.

How does being dynamically typed seal it's fate? Dynamic typing does not seem to be on the way out at all, cases in point; Javascript (everywhere), Python, Ruby to name the big ones.

The comment is obviously aimed at someone who does not use dynamic languages C++, Java etc.

The immediate mismatch is the alien nature of the parenthesis delimited s-expressions. My advice is that if you find yourself editing text as opposed to the structure of the s-exp or balancing parenthesis manually you are doing it wrong; E

He is not the first to look at Lisp, and I would surprised if he is the last. Lisp has some really compelling properties as means of expressing a program. Unfortunately there is a severe impedance mismatch between Lisp and the Algol inspire
