Why do you need rationale? I use lisp because its the language that gives me the most joy, you can spend a decade giving me rationale about how language X is better, but unless it can give me more joy i won't switch. But if you insist: common lisp is designed to write software. That is its sole purpose in existence. Its purpose is not to be object oriented, procedural, functional, declarative, low-level, high-level, big, small, pretty, cool, modern, fashionable, popular, or anything else, its common lisp, a language for people to write software in. For certain types of software and for certain types of people it is the best language, for other combinations, it is not so good. |

Would you run away if I told you there was an impending explosion? Probably.
Its one thing to tell people to do things. Its another to explain to them the benefits of doing so. Seemed like common sense...
