The Lisp Paradox

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?

More people are interested in writing code for money than bragging about the language they use to write code.

Maybe. That doesn't prevent a lot of people from doing that. There's a lot of people bragging about various languages they use to write code and various projects they completed. For example, notice the message you get after making a comment here ;-).

Lispers stand out as complaining about being oppressed and how everyone else should use Lisp instead.

But yeah, I totally endorse your conspiracy theory that a lot of software I or you use, and even more web sights are secretly implemented in lisp. It's cute!

DESKTOP software; are you deaf? You change the subject every tıme they are fuckıng you.

What? You claimed that nobody blogs about Lisp and now you complain because blogs are not on the desktop? Are you retarded?
