| That is because it is a little secret. It is a secret hidden in the open. We program in C#, we program in swift, C and C++, but we continue using so much Lisp as I did 20 years ago or way more. With Lisp you don't need to write only Lisp, you can write swift or any other language in Lisp, as we do. When people ask what programming languages we use, even competitors, we just tell them. They don't listen. They just can't really understand. They probably believe we use Lisp because we depend on obsolete technology because they are under the influence. The influence of snake oil salesman that want to sell them their new shiny language. For them anything new is shiny and old means dusty because things degrade over time, but computer languages do not. If competitors can't "get it", much better for us. They probably believe that we try to deceive them and that in reality we are using this new language-paradigm of the week that solves all the problems. Let them. Lisp guys have nothing to sell you but probably the software they create. And if they have a powerful tool, they are not that interested on you knowing their secret. |
This level of claim is indistinguishable from fiction.
