> your belief that List would be a good language for any projects for most companies That's a straw man. I have never made that claim. I think Lisp could be effective in a lot more areas than those in which it is currently deployed, but I have never said that it would be good for "any" project or "most" companies. What I said was that 1) in the past I have advocated for my "profound belief" that Lisp would be effective for particular projects on which I happened to be working, 2) in those circumstances in which I was able to persuade the decision-makers to actually use it, it worked spectacularly well and 3) despite 1 and 2, the net result was a net negative impact on my career. This is not sour grapes, just a cautionary tale. Holding and advocating for profound beliefs is not always a good idea. |
