Crypto-Lispers

are people who like Lisp, but pretend to advocate for a different language.

what did >>1-san mean by this

Did you now that the best way to learn C++ is to write a toy C++ interpreter?

that's the way to go. the Lisp way of programming is pretty great but the lack of a library ecosystem means that you're going to need write a lot of common functionality yourself [obligatory 'curse of lisp' reference goes here]. sometimes you can use meme lithps (you know, the ones that lithp elitists will always say aren't real lisps - stuff like Clojure or Hy) but you don't always choose a programming language. if that's the case, abusing any functional and/or meta features of the language is the best thing you can do.

C++ is inconsistent in its design and its corner-cases have its own corner-cases and thousands of little intricate details that create incompatibilities between types, templates and class inheritance(sometimes all three at same time).
Are you sure its not the quickest way to end up insane?
