Philip Greenspun lays down the smack on LISP. LISP is great but understanding what the heck LISP holds talk about has been confusing for me, personally. Maybe one of these days I’ll hit LISP Zen but until then I will have to settle for reading and trying to understand.
Kleanthes asked “What do they do at the Lisp Conference?”� I chimed in “it is a bunch of old guys talking about how a 20-year-old version of�Lisp is so much better than all the language tools being hyped right now.”
