if it's so perfect and intelligent, why isn't it used for anything? Lisp code in the wild is exceedingly rare.

Im looking for a programming language, it cant be sukuriputsu (thats japanese for scripting) or any interpreted language. It has to be of 2 or more puratuforumu (thats japanese for 2 platforms) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 megs. And you have to post pastebins of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching text editor (WITH syntax file). OH! and it CANNOT have any first order closures, or be made out of Lisp. It has to be made of x86, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (korea) or whatever. I have found a programming language similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 puratuforumu, and i dont want my Rinukusu (Linux) to touch my other things (it can get corrupted and i would not like that, plus 2 puratuforumu looks more kawaii)

Classical music is fascinating but I can't help but wonder:
if it's so refined and stimulating, why isn't it more popular? Tchaikovsky's compositions in the wild are exceedingly rare.
Lisp is neither perfect nor intelligent. It doesn't even have a decent type system, let alone side effects control. It's an outdated group of languages that got a moderate renewal of interest with Rich Hickey's Clojure.
>>11 Outdated in terms of its features. What you mean is that "outdated" does not apply to languages in terms of legacy code usage and you're right: there's still a bunch of Fortran and Cobol code running just fine which no one is trying to replace. But Lisp does not have even that: in terms of code usage it's neither contemporary nor outdated, more like stillborn.
If Haskell retards had their way with Lisp it'd probably have a hundred new operators, and parsing would be halting-complete (while executing would be EXPTIME).
Number Pi is neither perfect nor intelligent. It doesn't even have a rational number form, let alone being non-integer. It's an outdated math constant that got a moderate renewal of interest with National Pie Day.
Experts appear to have ignored a proposal from within their own ranks to retire the circle constant that is taught in schools and appears throughout mathematics and replace it with 2pi, or tau.

>>20 Keep on calling a quarter of a turn "a half of pi", retrograde faggot. The tau revolution will gradually replace your errors and give us a new bright future.
>>23 That might well be. The advantages of π are obvious in HIGHER MATHEMATICS which suggests the majority of τ supporters possess minimal knowledge of HIGHER MATHEMATICS.
