LISP (Part I)

Name: Anonymous 2013-09-20 10:33

Is Lisp still used for anything nowadays?

Reddit has long replaced it with Pylons and Lisp is easily replaceable with Haskell when it comes to machine learning and other areas with lots of use of functional programming.

As far as I know generic programming is mostly done in Sepples, Java, etc. because everyone wants to start CODAN GAYMES AND APPS FOR CRAPPLE GAYPHONE and SAMSHIT LAGDROID.

Lisp has no place in bit-level hackery and C and ASM dominates that thing.

I've heard of Lisp used for a lot of serving web content but even Python, Ruby and JS is are popular among startups.

If we want every programmer to achieve Satori brought by Lisp, we should really make more stuff using Lisp. The worth of a language is not measured by what it can do, but what it's programmers make the most of it.

How about we start porting Tox to Lisp

Hacker News still uses Arc. Some Yahoo sites still uses Lisp. Companies in embedded devices still use Lisp to automate tasks. It still a great introductory language to actually teach computer since with.

Lisp also alleviates the task of writing ASM with actual abstracts:

Amen. Then start writing applications, and giving them for free.

No. We have enough tools already for communication, even securely. Please see Gnunet, FreeNet, and Tor Chat clients.
