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.

Cheating, C can do that too.

#define dot(x) x
int main(void) { unsigned i = 0; while(i++ < 10000) dot("OP is a faggot"); return 0; }
Try to compile this with -O2 and strip unecessary information from the resulting executable.

and DON'T you dare claim it is not the same, or else you don't understand the c preprocessor nor the #. read macro.

P.S. the "2,001,288 processor cycles" number is a purely theoritical one (say, a hard bound). The truth is the processor took more cycles than that. I could probably refuse to believe any of your numbers, you biased lisp farthead.
