You obviously never used it. CL was completly standardized in 1994 (second version). It's more modern than just about any ``modern'' language that I currently use.
Oh, and why would a ``kid'' use ``old'' stuff? Don't kids like modern things?
Not that I care in the least what the likes of you thinks as I just updated to today's nightly build of SLIME and SBCL and updated a tool that I wrote by adding 8 lines to it and have it work perfectly. This tool currently weights about 1600 lines of code, and if I were to rewrite this in C, I could easily see it go 10000 lines and higher, probably some 3000-5000 in Java or C#. It performs some complex manipulations on graphs and all this is described in a very compact and simple DSL. Trying to think of the equivalent manual C code filled with redundancies that I would have to write makes me sick to even consider undertaking such a project by myself. Yet, here I am, I can just think of an idea and just have it implemented in a day or two and have it fully working. So you can keep on trolling, while I'll keep on seeing my ideas turn into real code in realtime.
