What software absolutely needs the x86 performance from the user and programmer perspective? Why can't we switch to ARM even if it was ~4 times slower but much cheaper?
(lisp (has many legitimate) issues)
(funcall #'and (quirks that make it)
(kindof ,@difficult to 'use ,(and read)))
(I can 't speak for everyone)
but
(I think many people here have probably tried lisp)
(only to realize that many of it 's features)
(are implemented more elegantly in other ,@more mainstream and (funcall #'popular languages))
(lisp is nice but it is very old ,@and maybe (CALL-NEXT-METHOD) doesn 't seem to be very well thoughtout as whole)
(It seems more like an experimental language ,@made when current modern techniques where experimental))
