>>> It's more mainstream than the $NEW-AWESOME-JAVASCRIPT-FRAMEWORK. This sentence doesn't make any sense. "Mainstream" means used alot - widespread acceptance. Lisp is #33 on Tiobe after Cobol, Foxpro, Fortran

Are you saying that makes Lisp mainstream?

by hoodoof 9y ago
There seems to be plenty of people who think Lisp is awesome. If so, then why hasn't it become "mainstream"?

picodollars - you've lost me, even though I'm tech. I don't think this website should be made to "look better" i.e turned into some corporate garbage, but it could definitely look better... looks kinda like an open

My theory is that if you can possibly do it, have no "explainer page", instead just BOOM you are now using the software. Or maybe have an explainer page offered to the user as a dialogue when they first go to the website.

QNX would have been a better choice than BeOS.

I was really taken with BeOS at the time but NextStep was a much better operating system given that it was built on top of Unix and in addition was just beautifully engineered. The evidence of the excellence of its architecture is how ea

I really don't think Kim gives a shit what happens. He is probably literally living a kilometre under ground in a palace with as much food and women and luxury as he wants. He wants the big one - the war - and he doesn't care wha

This guy seems to have his cards flat out on the table, open to all, that he wants nuclear war and he will start it as soon as his weapon systems can deliver it. Hard to see how to avoid such an outcome when that's all he wants and all

Can someone explain the appeal of Vue over React?

I have built projects with a friend in the past. He so aggressively avoids overengineering that he goes the other way - if you make ANY effort to properly engineer something he gets really annoyed and says time is being wasted. It's al

This event will prove whether or not Apple really is serious about keeping Macintosh fresh and not stagnant. I'm not yet convinced that their recent claims that "Mac matters" will be maintained in the long or even medium term

I'll try it. I certainly have a "self assessment" program running in my head which asks "is your brain out of steam"? I usually run this in my brain at the end of the day because I have a tendency to keep programmi

I worked in government once and could not believe the cost required to get what I saw as small projects done. In the end I understood, when I came to understand, as other in this thread have pointed out, that there's support, rollout,
