Jon pls, do you even Lisp Machine? Seriously, you can't base your opinion on kernels/OS:s written in Lisp on this guy's hobby project. I know what you think of GC, but history shows what an industrial Lisp OS is like and it&#

Considering the feature list, doesn't Common Lisp also qualify as a game programming language then?

Looks like they use defmacro/g! from let over lambda.

Yes but the point is that the (at least I assumed so) 5% increase in speed was based on the initial performance of the system and that it didn't scale. Isn't that basically what you're talking about?

>Say you can either spend X amount of effort on a 50% improvement, or you can spend X/10 on each of 10 5% improvements. Sounds the same, right? This is the same thing. The point is that you say "10 5% improvements of state S0&q

I'd call Common Lisp functional between quotes.

I don't think that any Lisp programmer downvoted him.

Sure, check out pgloader (this guy re-wrote a Python program into Common Lisp and wrote about the experience), the European Lisp Symposium ( http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/content-programme-ful... ), it's used

But you won't be allowed to post those apps on the Play Market, because apparently compiling code at runtime isn't okay.

I know :) I meant "take Java math code and convert into LaTeX, display inline", the first part is the missing one!

The weird thing is that some people feel that they need to find all kinds of justifications for why not having an infix syntax is OK. Arithmetic in Lisp-style is excellent and easy to read. Thing is that programming languages infix math is

First of all: A wide stance low bar back squat going down to parallel together with conventional deadlifts will strengthen your hamstrings and glutes greatly. There are reasons to pull sumo, those reasons are mainly proportion-related. Most

Do you really want a turing complete type system? Being turing complete does not necessarily mean more powerful for real world applications.

The thing about the OP is that Lisp isn't well defined. The only constant is that what Lisp is changes, so it's really not that useful to talk about Lisp as "the final language" because there will always be new Lisps. Th

I'd love to hear the reasoning behind that choice if it's Rich Hickey that did it, since it's called some and every in Common Lisp and he's written a great deal in that language.

The Lisp community is more known for heralding the language than it is at heralding the users of the language.

I have 157 karma and I can't downvote anything. How exactly do you downvote on HN? I've never seen anyone explain that (and I can't really see it in the settings either).
