And what about knowing a reasonable amount of a few topics? In this case, knowing a little bit of operating systems, computer architecture and computer science (the more theoretical things as algorithms, complexity...) will make you a bette

Leopard's Terminal.app has tabs. Until Leopard I've been using iTerm, but now I've com back to Terminal.app as it uses less memory & cpu and has tabs. I don't need anything more.

I agree that the C version is slightly more readable than the Lisp version, but this slight improvement comes to a big price which is the difficulty to programmatically parse and generate C code.

But you can format and indent your lisp code so the reader (people) doesn't have to rely on counting parentheses. Example from taken from http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ (defun test-+ () (let ((*test-name* 'test-+) (ano

Ok, I think I get you. But then I think you can't categorize programming languages this way, the default data-structures provided by the language don't characterize it. In fact, it seems to me that you like most JavaScript because it's obje

Well, to some extent there exists a unparenthesized version of Lisp: Logo :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_%28programming_language%29 And for the names used for the keywords and builtins, I agree with you. About the +/add, I really do

And what about CLOS? Does not make Lisp, in your words, a "hash programming language"? Really I don't get the difference you state between list/hash programming languages, I've work a little with EcmaScript and I don't know anything about I

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't want to mean that Perl is a bad language at all. I was trying to explain my experience with my fellow coworkers, who happened to love perl. Actually, for the last 3 years I've been using it at work, including first-c

Whoever had downmoded my comment: please, can you explain me the rationale for such action? So I never again piss you off with, what seems to me, an in-topic comment. Thank you very much.

I like Lisp a lot, and from my own experience I think that the main reasons why people dislike Lisp are prefix notation and parentheses . Sure, my experience is only anecdotal and not at all large. But always I've tried to introduce someon
