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?

You mean just like every other programmer who has the most experience with language X?
I hate your language X very much, not because it lacks feature Y, but because code that I write in X has a nasty habit of just not working, without any indication of why it isn't working. Lisp never gives me that trouble, and even when my Lisp code doesn't work, the tools available for debugging it (namely profilers, stack traces and functional style free of side effects) are so vastly superior to anything that I have found for X that fixing my problem is simple. And, seriously people, a language's speed is becoming less relevant with each new increase in processor speed, I would much rather program in a fast enough language that works and makes sense than in an unintuitive, convoluted piece of shit like X. --Lisper
