Okay

Do we actually program, any of us, here? or is this just a troll board for people to get mad at each other "EAT SHIT AND DIE LISPFAG" without actually having ever used lisp or understood it...

lets be clear on this, Lisp, ML, Haskell, etc are all good for what they were designed for, to be information processing languages. Were talking extraction of information out of data. People who say "Lisp is superior" are academics talking out of their ass because they have never used a programming language for business or commercial applications where you have to constantly maintain state. Im getting sick of AbleSuss trolling /prog/ and /g/ with their "Lisp over all" attitude. Yes its a powerful language, yes it is still probablly the most powerful language for what it does. But its just a tool in the toolbox, other languages are equally valid and probably more useful for common programming tasks.
