You can use a Lisp language to do web stuff. It's reasonably faster than Python, and it's perfect for templating, text manipulation and other web stuff.

Are any real websites written in Lisp? Honestly. Facebook? Twitter? Google? Yahoo?
Nope. All use PHP.

Reddit used to be written in Lisp. Then they found out it was a crappy language and rewrote it in Python.
>>173
No, they found out rewriting it in Python would make it more easy to mantain, because not everyone can write Lisp.

So, if something shitty is popular, it becomes good? Also, what the fuck are you trying to make? Some shitty le web cloud social media startup? Might as well learn node.js and fuck off back to Hacker Jews.

No. If something is good, it generally becomes popular. PHP has it's flaws, but I shudder at the thought of building and maintaining any sort of complex or dynamic website with a language like Lisp. If it's some five-page, cookie-cutter informational site, sure. But otherwise, I'm modularizing that shit with PHP and doing front-end with JS.
You're ``developing'' a ``scalable web solution'' and you're going to ask Y Combinator to fund your startup.
Why don't you fuck off back there?

I'm not developing shit. I'm speaking generally about web projects I'm hired to do. Why in the fuck would I use Lisp to develop any website. No advantages. Big fucking mess.

No, it's wonderfull. Take a look at clojure. Nothing is as good as sexpressions for html templates.

yu-yu-use it wisely prog
(defmethod char-set ((str string))
(let ((table (make-hash-table)))
(loop for i from 0 to (- (length str) 1)
do (setf (gethash (char str i) table) t))
table))

(apply #'string-concat

It's not so bad in an academic setting, but corporate jobs like that really are shit.

Coming from someone who's obviously never been gainfully employed. Of course you'd be a self-loathing programmer. I'd probably be one too and blame it on my chosen career path.

I'm not employed by the community. What was the point of quoting that, by the way?
I simply make software I like making (school/shop/store management software) and I try to sell them in small cities. They usually don't make you sign contracts, pay "license costs" that happen to be enough for keeping my lifestyle (around 100EUR/month) and you don't have deadlines, USE JAVA AND DESIGN PATTERNS XD or cubicles that smell like curry.

Don't you people have better things to do, such as discussing how to defend digital civil rights such as the right to privacy, to cryptography and to steganography, as well as the banishment of software patents?
