Common lisp is bloated

Name: Anonymous 2008-04-26 21:30

I'm not a lisper myself, but I thought i should ask you. I have just read the wikipedia article on Common Lisp that describes lots of features. Particularly, the inclusion of an ENTERPRISE object-oriented paradigm and some macro syntax that looks like valid perl code.

So, is ((SCHEME)) better?

I mean, I like the idea of "syntax = parentheses", or almost that.

But.. real work it's very wide. IMHO you can can do anything with proper libraries/bindings.

How complex would be the bindings for, say, gtk? Yeah, the syntax would become more underscores than parentheses, but you'll be doing more than printing to stdout
