About LISP

I started playing around with some LISP because you faggots never stop talking about its greatness and I'm truly amazed. At how shitty it really is.

A simple loop printing "hello world" eats up 40MB of RAM. And if you start up 10 of them it takes up 400MB. What the fuck?

No wonder no one uses this garbage.
