typosaurus1215584dLoved the first two. But Lisp, let's ditch that thing for once and for all. Overrated piece of shit. Nobody is actually doing something with it

spongessuck616484d@retoor does clojure count? I haven't built anything useful with it but it's very cool.

lorentz1518384dIMO Lisp is a combination of brilliant ideas that still ends up a horrible language because its designers didn't and couldn't have understood the impact of any of them.
Every popular language today bears its legacy in many ways, and every one of them is desperately trying not to become Common Lisp. -

There are only two kinds of open source projects:
1. Short, all-lowercase, starts with “lib”, written in C, obscure author, used by 80% of the electronic devices on earth and in space, the modern civilization as we know it will collapse immediately should this library disappear
2. Name that tells you nothing, readme has the “Philosophy” section and emojis, written in JavaScript, author has 20k Twitter followers and 50k GitHub stars. When you run it, your laptop’s coolers start spinning like crazy
3. Common Lisp
