Thinking in Lisp

Name: Anonymous 2012-02-04 20:31

SQL, Lisp, and Haskell are the only programming languages that I've seen where one spends more time thinking than typing.
That's because it takes forever to think of the solution in Lisp and Haskell as opposed to a decent language. Faggot lispers will spend most of their time figuring out how best to abuse recursion because they think it makes them leet programmers or some shit.

It's how people who more background in imperative programming think. I've heard that people who started out with functional programming have trouble with imperative, because they can't get past the notion of mutable state. n = n + 1? But that's false for all integers, n!
