Re: Have you read SICP

Why should I believe you, or follow a link from someone in their first 10 posts? Why is that book worth reading? What does SICP stand for?

Hmm, at least the link seems to be honest (pointing where it appears to point).

Thanks.

multi-paradigm

No, Common Lisp is not multi-paradigm, it's a unityped OOP language with almost first-class functions, much like Ruby.

Do you want lazy evaluation? The language does not offer it in the standard, but you can easily implement it

The "could be done" curse is one of the things that killed Lishp. In Haskell everything works out of the box, you just turn extensions on and off. No need to make your half-assed, non-standard, incompatible, badly tested extensions to the language.

How about a powerful type system in a Lisp? Nope? Thought so. Haskell has all the good things of Lisp plus a whole bag of modern and advanced features.
