Lisp is the red pill to programming. A mind-blowing out-of-the-box experience. An alien technology. -- Lisp has a so called "no turning back point", true lispers cannot bear other dialects after experiencing it. From scientists in underground military bases to rich tech VCs: everyone obeys Lisp here..

- CyberFonic 7y agoLoved your "red pill" analogy. Although I don't use Lisp in my daily programming, I do tinker with it when exploring new concepts. Basically I find that any abstraction can be quickly, not necessarily efficiently, implemented using Lisp. The absence of syntactic and even semantic constraints allows novel ideas to be tested which would be too awkward in more "conventional" languages. As it has been said, many advanced systems contain an incomplete, faulty implementation of Lisp. So cutting to the chase, simply use your favourite Lisp system and hack away.
