LISP? Haskel? Are you retarded? C++ is where it's at. /prog/ is full of fanboys. Name something LISP can do that you can't code in C. Case closed.

Good programmers upgrade their computer when they want their code to run faster.
You upgrade your computer because your old one is unable to handle the stress of running your "modern", high-level, resource hogging code.

We upgrade because we feel like it. You have no choice but to buy new parts all the time.
