The Lisp Paradox

Name: Anonymous 2016-03-02 2:18

Inferior tools allow less intelligent people to create what those with greater intelligence are unable to create with Lisp.

What does this paradox mean?

Are people who choose to use Lisp actually less intelligent than people who use other languages? Is Lisp actually inferior to and less productive than these other languages? Do the few people who are able to accomplish something in Lisp actually choose it for bragging rights, the way handicaps are used in sports?

Why do people put assembly language and Lisp in the same category of difficult languages? Shouldn't the high productivity of Lisp make it one of the easy languages, like Visual Basic, Python, PHP, and JavaScript? Why is it considered a difficult accomplishment to create something useful in Lisp?

Why are we "shit" programmers, using "shit" languages, delivering real world product while you geniuses masturbate over a compiler for your own toy dialect of ASM that you write in RACKET??? filling an empty friday night with useless code.

In the real world we work in teams and when you put people together half of them are dumber than the other half DUH. I can see what half you are on. Companies learned ages ago that if you let a team of your average-run-of-the-mill programmers just do their own thing and wing it that you end up with disaster. So you use common denominator languages and toolchains, and you ignore the screams from the primadonnas.
