Thinking in Lisp

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.

Knock it off. Look at the return type in that C code. It's an integer. It's not designed to take parameters large enough to cause a stack overflow. Of course intentionally giving it values it's not designed for won't work.

n = n + 1? But that's false for all integers, n!
Only an idiot would be bothered by this. All it takes is understanding that = isn't equality.

Of course people who start off with functional programming will be able to come up with solutions faster in functional languages, but people in general are better with imperative. It's how we think on a day to day basis.
