The ``In Lisp" guy is an elaborate anti-Lisp troll from Russian imageboards. His tactic is to appear as a Lisp proponent while acting intentionally stupid and obnoxious. Ignore his posts and refrain from being trolled.
His trolling is just too relentless and thorough for me to believe that it's faked. I genuinely believe that the guy is just a poor Muslim aspie as he tried hard to hide, and defended desperately when met with our incredulity.
Sure, it could be a coordinated attack made by fiendishly clever trolls who have concocted this character who would never stop harping obnoxiously on his retarded beliefs, who believes he has grievances, whose life is broken yet he denies so or hides it like, well, about half the residents of any 4chan board, which is what allows him to post here all day.
But then again, what's the difference between that and making the case that it has always been me, The Sussman and you trolling each other endlessly on /prog/.
It's likely that it's both now, and that his ``legacy'' is carried out by impostors,as his writing has become more formulaic and, because of that, saner, but I still believe that there is an actual ``in Lisp'' guy.
Good Infinity, I can't believe I wrote all that. Well, I better leave /prog/ now for a while...
>>4 but I still believe that there is an actual ``in Lisp'' guy.
He posted his DSL/language's implementation here once.
If it's just a troll, it's a pretty high quality one.
there are no high quality trolls. there's stupidity and he has embraced it.

Trolling is about maximum results with minimum effort. Implementing a whole new programming language on top of a really shitty language and then implementing a game clone on top of it doesn't exactly constitute minimum effort.

Symta's got a metacircular evaluator‽

Well considering that only some heavily modified Scheme or Javascript would classify as better than CL, I guess you're right. Still, they all fucking suck right now.
I remember talking to the guy that invented JavaScript. He told me he wrote the thing in 10 days. He went on to say the language would have been a lot shittier he had a few more days to develop it.
I got a copy of some early Symta Lisp, it's got a folder called "SDL", my bet is that he uses some kind of SDL bindi- SUSSMAN

He's unemployed, lives with his mother. He has nothing better to do really.
And his DSL actually only proves my point. You can't be as densely stupid as he seems to be and implement a custom language on top of Common Lisp. He's clearly acting. Again, your safest bet is to ignore his posts completely or he will drain your soul. Russian school of trolling is no joke.

Implementing Symta on top of Common Lisp shows dedication and at least the capacity of understanding Common Lisp itself.
However, just a he was dedicated enough to create it, he could be as obsessed as he shows here with his stupid revelation that Set theory is a Jewish conspiracy, otherwise see Bobby Fischer.
Well, regardless of the earnestness of his ultrafinitist trolling, ignoring him or taking his shitposts in stride got us nothing. It was only until after that thread where he got relentlessly insulted and pushed away from the board that he stopped posting his crap and that's why you can see threads that don't consist of only him trolling everyone else.
If calling him the retard that he is and running him away means that we got ``trolled'', that's fine, as long as the aspie leaves us alone for a while.
>>26
Oh, and aspie accidental trolls who can understand complex systems are not something new, look up Xah Lee to see one that has been bothering people since the early nineties and whose ``trolling'' consist of posting his poorly written essays in multiple mailing lists.
