Lisp. Lisp is the only language

Name: Anonymous 2011-01-31 10:29

Why there are other programming languages besides Lisp? With Lisp's macro system you can create any language you need ever. Small, big, finely tuned for your task. Supporting other languages means opposing progress and delaying the inevitable future. There should be only one language and myriad languages at the same time. The one language is Lisp.

Of course I know, but I meant that Forth is much more low-level-oriented than Lisp, which is all abstracting the hardware away.
And yes, I know Lisp could work at low-level too (Lisp Machines were Lisp all the way down, after all), but with Forth seems much more natural.
