Clojure is not a LISP.

clojure is a lisp

2 is a troll

It is indeed a lisp, just a fscking weird one. Even cons and quasiquote are weird. In clojure, (cons 1 (cons 2 (cons '()))) != (list 1 2 3)

Are you missing a 3?

(cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 '()))) ;; => '(1 2 3)

who writes '()? just say nil. (cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 nil))) looks nicer

yes, but they're still != in clojure.

I'm a schemer. Nil isn't actually bound in r5rs.

interesting, I assumed it's portable acorss lithps

why would you even waste time thinking about such triviality?

Very little is portable across lithps. Even the very idea of macros is nonportable: scheme officially didn't have them before r4rs, and they didn't really come in until maclisp. And even the more lithpy scheme macros systems like sc and er/ir aren't exactly the same as defmacros.

Just about the only thing that is portable is the idea that lists exist and are the core datastructure, but even the names of the primitives vary from lithp to lithp, although it's almost always cons, car, and cdr nowadays.

TeX is shit, use Markdown instead

Clojure is shit, use Ruby instead

Check out my dubs

hahahahaha. if you only ever write README files for you cool frameworks you put on github.

Very hipster. DHH would be proud of you.

For that matter, so would Lennart.

Why does markdown exists anyway? Just use BBcode, orgmode, (la)tex, postscript, troff, etc.

Clojure and Hy use first/rest instead of car/cdr. And don't try to tell me that those are not true lithps.

If by "better" you mean using orders of magnitude more resources, maybe.

No, I mean "better":

Easier to maintain
Parallelizable
Reusable outside the project itself

I only used it once because I had to interface with Python code. It makes dealing with Python a bit less of a pain, I'll give it that.

hy allows both
hy 0.11.1 using CPython (default) 2.7.6 on Linux
=> (car '(1 2 3))
1L
=> (= (car '(1 2 3)) (first '(1 2 3)))
True

>>17,20
I quite like it to be honest. it's relatively minimal, not as weird as clojure (although it uses some cloure-ish conventions like [] instead of () for function parameters) and it allows using FIOC libs while avoiding some annoying FIOC quirks. probably the most practitcal of meme lisps

Weird, I must've gotten confused because of an argument about that with a friend who likes Clojure.
I think it's still a weird lithp, though most of it comes from the Python part. But yeah, it's very practical and I'm glad it exists because it lets you avoid some parts of Python.

it is a bit weird (especially the macros, they feel wrong) but it tries to stay comprehensible to lithpers, which is a plus. I like how they have a python-style (if 0) => False but also a CL-style (lif 0) => True.

Clojure is not a Lithp.
