Re:The future of Lisp by pavelludiq on Tuesday August 16, 2011 @10:58AM (#2891387)
I love most lisps I’ve had the pleasure to study. When clojure prospers, I’m happy. When individuals express such opinions clojure does not prosper, because the rest of the otherwise excellent community now has to explain that not all clojure programmers are ignorant fanboys, the same way Common Lisp programmers now have to explain that it's not a dead language that's like C++ with more parenthesis, and scheme isn't all just about teaching, and yes, there are libraries we can use. Its hard enough to use lisp, why make it harder? No lisp dialect needs to push others down in order to prosper, were better than that.
