Happy Colemak user here. I have been using Colemak for two years, and Emacs for a little more than one year. However I use Spacemacs with Vim keybindings :D

I can only agree with you. I don't like some of the syntactic choices of Clojure, and sadly some of those are in Hy.

The thing is, back in the 80s (before I was even born!), the cost was huge, but it has stayed the same until now. So, yeah, it cannot best good C/C++, or even optimized Java, but it still outperforms any scripting language. You know wh

Oh, I never heard of this one before. Thanks a bunch, it looks quite nice! ...although I code much more in Haskell nowadays, I might get hooked on macros again.

It must not be forgotten that performance isn't always the main concern, let alone the only one. And yeah, the expressiveness/speed ratio of Lisp is great .

Yes, I completely see your point. The main project I worked on to learn Common Lisp was the back-end of a web application ; I even had to compress data myself.

My thoughts exactly, although expressed in a much more organized way. I love Lisp. I had a great time learning it, but its lack of momentum is a big problem.

I don't think Haskell code looks like this. You don't have to use all the guru syntactic sugar; the library functions usually have pretty explicit names, and yours should have to.

You should definitely try, even if you end up being somewhat unsatisfied every time you have to use something else. When I write code in Haskell, it feels right, just like when I discovered Lisp. Only better. And oh, the purity! Not only in
