Note to galaxylogic: When lispm wrote: (defmethod foo ((p person) (s string)) (list p s)) He was implicitly defining a "generic function" "foo" of two arguments. Defmethod was defining an i

And one of the most serious and cutting edge graph databases, Allegro Graph, is a Common Lisp software. The engine that does the core stuff at Grammarly is also a CL program. DrMeister is an example of how an advanced hacker uses cutting ed

I own two DX7 synths and love them. They are very misunderstood, really. One myth is that they're difficult to program, this isn't true; they're just different to program. Analog synths are easier to program because they have

Source of your claim? Lisp compilers have been written in Lisp for the last 30 years or so. I don't care about Ruby or Python, both toy languages.

Well, obviously the guy is not using Lisp(or Julia), because his problems are easily solved by multiple dispatch. Blame mediocre OOP languages (Java & friends), not OOP itself.
