Cite some of those counter examples. Not being snarky. It would be nice to see what those counterexamples are. Good to see a topic from opposite perspectives.

Can't you download backups regularly, rsync them to your local system that you physically own? If the single-entity business disappears you can just get a new VPS from another business and restore the services from backups, can't

You can't just leave us hanging there! Tell us more. What type of problems do you solve with it? Was it hard to get others on board with the idea of CL? Are you happy with your decision of choosing CL for FAANG work? Any advantages&#x2

Interesting. Can you share the text editor? Can I try it out somewhere? Is the editor itself written in Lisp?

They certainly are! I use both everyday. Emacs and Org-mode are so ingrained into my brain and fingers that I just totally forgot that I am using a Lisp system everyday while posting my previous comment.

I don't have the same experience. I find s-expressions more pleasant to read. On the other hand, I find the syntax of C, Python, etc. to be jarring! The syntax of Rust and C++ feels like nails on chalkboard to me. What I find even more

The Eureka moment for me was when I realized that I can express LET in terms of LAMBDA. And why stop there? I can express DEFUN in terms of LAMBDA too. All of the code is just LAMBDAs and LAMBDAs. That's when it really clicked for me!
