To you lisp lovers

What has lisp ever done for reducing the memory footprint of a computer program? The answer is nothing, nothing at all. This is all the work of C.

The other way around... I wouldn't consider myself a "web developer" at all, nor do I want to be associated with them. I just write web pages and scripts because I need to, not by choice. ("semantic web" and CSS evangelism, hating IE beyond reason, and superfluous use of JS and bloaty "frameworks" --- that's a "web developer". Not me.)

>>84-86
Recursion in the REAL WORLD is different. You can use it to REPEAT things like a loop, but that doesn't mean you should.

>>87-88
Yes, C beats Lisp regarding raw speed.
And overall efficiency, because you need far less memory.

>>92,93
C isn't for idiots who can't do simple maths. If you can't show what ranges an array index can take on or where a pointer can point, then either your code or your brain is buggy.

>>94,95
All unnecessarily complex solutions with more overhead than just stopping users from reaching outside the language interpreter.

THE OP IS NOT ME.
