True, but then you have to develop in Lisp :p

I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But on the other hand, related to your example: the Windows APIs are in my opinion awful. Look at that CreateWindowEx call...

> True, but then you have to develop in Lisp

Sorry to poop your meme frolicking here, but your statement is flatly untrue at face value; other non-native languages exist that provide access to Windows API's.

Obviously, since I made this for myself at considerable effort in my free time over more than eight years, developing in Lisp must obviously be something I really want, not something I have to do.

Non-native languages with Win32, access: VB 6, VBScript/ JScript (CScript), everything on top of .Net, Python, Perl, heck, even Autohotkey.

Regarding the second part, don't take it so personally, I was just joking. You're also on the internet: if a lighthearted comment such as mine annoys you, a real internet troll will ruin your day...
