Using another language is like using a non-standard feature
And we all know how much the GNU project hates non-standard features.

Stallman actually prefers hacking in Lisp, he envisioned GNU to be written in C and extended in Lisp. This advice is just a matter of practicality: more people know C than other compiled languages.

>>2
The GNU weenies adhere to the standards when it makes sense and they are also not afraid of extending features when they see fit.

You know, you can replace C with a Lisp DSL.

He also does not like C++ (sepples for those of you that are too fag), and that makes me angry.

Stallman likes Lisp, but he is also partially to blame for the whole Symbolics conflict. Stallman's Lisp preferences are a lot less current than what most Lispers like (he thinks dynamic scope should be on by default).

I thought he only thought that for performance reasons.
Lexical scope was quite slow back in the day.
