eLisp? Where lexical scoping is this brand new feature that generates compiler warnings? Where the UI thread is the same as your eLisp thread? Where multiprocessing is a super clunky fork-exec with a weird side buffer? Where a simple regular expression works differently between what the user invokes and how you'd write it in a function?

Yeah, it's a super joy to write.

As someone who uses Emacs and likes writing lisp, 100% agree. elisp is without a doubt the worst lisp still in common use.

It is a joy. When writing code in the ivory tower :-)

Elisp arguably has worse warts than Javascript. For example, non of Javascript's legacy 'var' scoping nonsense compares to elisp's archaic model of using dynamic scope for everything by default. On top of that, modern Javascript implementations are of extremely high quality, whereas Elisp is stuck with an interpreter of mediocre performance.

> Javascript is a profoundly terrible language to do anything in

Makes it really hard to take anything you say seriously when you reveal just how ok with extreme hyperbole you are

What do you find profoundly terrible about JavaScript?

I disagree, I like JavaScript
