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.

Actually, the syntax is predefined. You [i]can[i/] change it, yet that still doesn't mean it doesn't have one. And when you do change it, it is no longer Lisp, it's something else entirely. A language is it's syntax and it's semantics. If you change one or the other, it's not really the same language anymore.
