Running Lisp in Production (2020)

I agree. And I think that the constant BS claims of certain Lisp advocates actually damages the Lisp community. Especially the silly “I am smarter because I use Lisp” claims you often see in Lisp articles. My answer is always: OK great. Why don’t you instead first build some impressive stuff in Lisp and then show us how Lisp made it possible for you to build it 10x faster. Then you might actually make people believe you. Especially given that pretty much all successful software out there is written in (or run on top of) C/C++.

this is just personal taste but i think that GNU Emacs blows any other software ever written out of every universe that ever existed :)

Maybe because it is written in C? Hehehehe :)
