There's a lot of talk about lisp and various languages which are frankly esoteric. What does everyone code in at work/school?

I've got a side gig being a catch-all web administrator/designer/developer/bitch. It involves a lot of PHP/MySQL in a variety of frameworks and other assorted abortions.

Ruby and Clojure. That's right, I actually use Lisp at work, where is your god now?

I like lisp, and I think all things considered it's a usable language for some programming tasks, but a lot of companies are oriented toward getting a narrow job done fast, which is where specialized languages like ASP .NET are of use. Lisp might have been fine for web apps ten years ago, but now there are languages, or at least libraries, that make a lot of the wiring happen so much faster that it's worth it, at least from the company's perspective, to deal with the bloat these frameworks build into an application. Myself, I prefer to stay well away from the UI and work in c++, but even then, if I need to do something fast on Windows, c# is a rational choice.

I am kind of excited about seeing what will replace Windows, which looks like it might be fading. I just pray we get some equivalent to Android on the desktop, because you know consumers in general are going to go to Mac before they ever consider Linux.

So you are a gamma, and did not read them, just poked them? Learn about Viaweb, the web company that won many clients, yahoo had to buy it before it became a threat to them.

There is more shit, but let me place this here to give a little bit of ``company's perspective\\:

So you're going to use examples from 1995 to prove Lisp has currency? And then descend into ad hominem attacks when I don't agree with your borrowed opinions? I slogged through all three of those goddamn articles and I came to a
different conclusion from you. Get over it.

I think the point of your previous postings was that you need to use the right tool for the job, which in those cases was Lisp. Regardless of what you would like, that is rarely the case. There's really no point in getting mad about it.

I use J2EE and ~~ENTERPRISE FRAMEWORKS~~.

Sepples and currently Octave. The last time I said I used Octave at work someone said it was a sweet lie. I can live with that, as it sounds like more of an accomplishment than the truth.
