Lisp is going to die

It's too good for its own good.

Funny, that there are a number of Lisp-bashing sites, created by java and python people. Even funnier, than these people are trying to convice themselves, that their mediocre languages and software are worth something and that "the best is the enemy of the good".

Mess with the best die like the rest.

They're bashing Lisp for entirely the wrong reasons. Really, the only reason (which you have no way of working around from within the language) to fucking hate Lisp are all the fucking parens. All the other arguments against it are pure bullshit, since the core design is sane and shitty libraries can simply be rewritten. Okay, maybe there's a point about cons-based data structures not being well-adapted to today's ISAs, but it can be worked around easily via a proper compiler or JIT; or you know, by using (typed) vectors.
