Whether I'm a programmer

Name: Anonymous 2011-05-17 12:50

if I use Lisp and call other languages "inferior" or do I need to accept Java and Python to be a truly faithful programmer?

Whom should I consult on this question of religion?

and learn a compiled language (C).
Any language can be compiled, Lisp has compiler.
Did you mean low-level language? Forth.
Did you mean a language for system programming? FFI.

except static typing [...] can easily replace with macros?
Racketeers proved you wrong. We've got a pretty nice type system.
CL has type annotations.

You clearly don't understand Lisp, it's not about features, programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary.
At the core, Lisp does this, and does it good. C++, C, Java, C#, ..., get a new feature every month or so, so they're not really designed with that in mind.
