Beating the Averages

Beating the Averages

I have never ever think that a web page was running in lisp , it was a surprise for me . Actually I am really clumsy so every time I use it , I lost in a parenthesis sea and usally is no one who I have meet talked about lisp. And development Especially in the web , it was even more strange.

I read the next paragraph in the article and i thought that it is actually the reason of why i want to learn correctly the language:

“Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot”

I have not used Lisp for a long time but by the way I notice how it works really fast, and is not a complicate code to read, yo have not to define the type of data and the functions are easy to undestand.

The guys who decide to began theyre startup with Lisp take and amazing idea, basically they said, oh we have a lot experience with Lisp, and we need to hurry , so just use the pregramming language in we are good. And it makes sense, if you want to put your company on the first place is a good idea to use a programming language that you can use easily and of couse the surprise to your competitors, if you can use a tool that make all your process  in a quick way and the other companies does not know what are you using, still beter, you must use it. Nowday I am not sure if Lisp coud compete with the new languages but the basic idea of a “secret weapon” is still a good chance to be best than your competitors.

I found it in the article too :

programming languages are not just technology, but what programmers think in.

And I noticed two things, this is true and most posibly i am not a Lisp girl.
