Why do people still insist on using antiquated, broken languages like Java, C and C++?
Why don't you all switch to LISP, morons?
I can't understand why any one of you couldn't learn LISP, I mean, allocating memory from the heap? Get the fuck out. You too, hueg liek xbawks languages like Java, just fuck off.

Lisp is older than any of those. You can't really call them antiquated in this context.

A reality in which programmers are seduced by false promises of ZOMG OPTIMIZED and are too lazy to learn the things that will really make their programming better.

You know not of what you speak. I study every line of assembly of every program I write, looking for improvements at all possible points, and overriding stupid shit the compiler did.
Congratulations, you've phaild. That's a degree that unfortunately doesn't come with a large salary.
isn't lisp the oldest of those 3 languages?
c++ and java are very solid, but lisp?? lisp... =9 someday i'll make a lisp sdk (in java) just for fun, i bet it'll kicks ass
.....lisp.....fag

Of course it's the oldest. It's kind of silly that 50 years of language design have passed without producing a single contender, but that's the way it is.

Yeah, it's crazy. Fifty years and dozens of other toy languages later and none of them managed to be as shitty as lisp.

Yeah, that works great if you're just talking about inner loops of number crunching. Now, howabout optimizing your prefetching system to use dynamic load balancing because reading as-needed from your larger-than-memory files leaves idle time? What about optimizing your network message ordering across a distributed process? What about optimizing the cache coherency involved in multithreaded programming by deciding if/when to yield so that work queues don't pile up in a single timeslice?
Oh wait, you don't actually code real systems!

only three complete programs have ever been written in Lisp
>>32 all it proves is that it can be done, not that it can be ``powerful''. any modern language can do everything lisp can do.
FUQN LISP.

Any Touring-complete language can do everything any other Touring-complete language can do. You don't really have any kind of argument to present, but you're presenting it anyway, which makes the whole situation pretty comical.

Any Touring-complete language can *compute* everything any computable number, as other Touring-complete language can/

Which, in the context of programming languages, is precisely the same thing.
