No need to risk that. Just impress us by telling us about the awesome software you have written with your 10x more productive language. I can’t wait.

… crickets …

Still waiting :)

ok i couldn't resist ... Lisp is written in Lisp :)

The question is what you have written in Lisp. My guess is very little? Anything used in production anywhere? Go on. It's OK to brag a little :)

get well buddy :)

Ahhh so you have written zero production software in Lisp. As expected.

still waiting on those lisp implementations of yours mate. ur full of it and you know it ;)

And C is written in C, and Haskell is written in Haskell etc. etc. :)

And Emacs is written in C by the way :)

If you think about GNU Emacs, that one is written in C and Emacs Lisp. The original one was written in TECO. I'm using two other ones, which are written in Lisp.

Ah TECO. I spent some seriously quality time writing compilers in Bliss 36 with TECO. I still have muscle memory of TECO.
