... And why you aren't using it.

Explain yourselves.

Cause JavaScript is much better and has more features.

I'm seriously wondering why any other language exists. It's marvelous!

Compare listings of the same problem in different languages and you'll know why.

srs question

what is lisps niche? like what is it really good at? im working through sicp and they've given lots of reasons why lisp is good at compilers and interpreters, but im not quite there yet...

right now all i can do is make text porn adventure games ;__;

why lisp is good at compilers
Compilers work on ASTs, Lisp is pretty good at LISt Processing.

Also, please, learn English.

I like the idea of Lisp, I just don't like any of the implementations.
Maybe I'll see if R7RS improves anything. I'm partial to Lisp-1s.

Steps to get LISP from Python
1.replace indentation with parens
2.replace libraries with unoptimized recursive functions
3.change evalutation order to prefix notation
4.add arcane macro system for "code reuse"
Tada

... And why you aren't using it.

1. It's fucking Gay
2. I have no use for gay ass lambda calculus
3. see #1
4. I have no use for monads
5. See #1
6. I don't find the fun in FUNctional programming
7. See #1
8. Did I say it's FUCKING QUEER LIKE A THREE DOLLAR BILL ALREADY!!!

Because knowing lisp doesn't land you an actual programming job.

And I bet you work some shit hourly job at a hick firm. Nice job jew. You're below average. Now go run off and kill yourself.

3.change evalutation order to prefix notation
I don't think you know what ,,evaluation order'' means.

lisp really isn't very functional. There are lexical closures, but everything is mutable and tail call optimization isn't guaranteed.

And given your piss poor grammar, and weak ass grasp over anything technical on this joint, I just find it hard to believe that you do anything outside of sales and marketing.

NOT.

You were the GC-hating spammer anyway.

No I'm not. Besides, unlike you, I've actually implemented a working GC algorithm. Now go run off and study SICP. Maybe if you try hard enough, you can actually write some code one day.

Please proceed forthwith and with all due haste. Have someone post pics too.

Nobody likes you. All the strong references to you have vanished.
It's time to repent and learn humility before your space be reclaimed, insolent construction!!

TWO THINGS:
1) Optimize your quoting
2) GTFO and go back to /g/ or /v/ as the case may be.
