Lisp is shit and Lisp users are faggots

Name: Anonymous 2014-05-29 3:13

Anyone who has the gall to say that Lisp is in the same league as C should be shot in between the eyes.

Lisp is an unusable piece of crap with absolutely no use in real life whatsoever. Oh, except for Ganoo /g/eemaks. Yeah, have fun sucking on Stallman's toejam, queers.

Lisp coders are unmitigated faggots no better than the optimahzin mah cloud apes crowd.

By the way, Lisp faggots, did you know that Lisp is so shitty that reddit, yes, reddit, of all people, stopped using it for their back-end because the code written with it was an unmaintainable shitpie and switched to Python?

Your whole post is made of bullshit. Are you sure you're a programmer?

1. Haskell does not use call-by-name evaluation, it uses call-by-need evaluation.
2. Lazy IO has been a problem long ago, now there are much better alternatives.
3. Memoization works with monads, you got something wrong on some level.
4. Haskell uses runtime tags for sum types, that's true, but "fixnums" aren't sum types.
5. Haskell can have runtime type tags if you need them, but by default types are erased, so no bad performance there.
5. It's true that Haskell numeric types are boxed by default, but you can make them unboxed by making them strict and using a compiler flag. Haskell also has unboxed mutable arrays.
6. Haskell performance has been known to reach C performance.
