Revenge of the Nerds

I think there is not a Best programming language, if you can do something  in one language it can be , most times easily,  done in another language.

With that said now the question is “which should I use?” but more specifically, if I want to make my own business or if I am working with some programming language “Why I am using this language?”

Well, sometimes happen that  if there is boss thas just has a little idea of the software developement, something that could happen is the boss saying the team should use an specific programming language just because, in the best case it works well for a required activitie but in most cases, everyone use the same. But the truth is that they restrict the innovation that can be used to créate more sophisticated software.

Usually a programmer has a favorite language and actually knows the features of it and can do many things but sometimes it represents a restriction and the programmer knows that but not is always able to change the tools  because … the boss.

 Well now is Lisp time

*glorious trumpets music*

In the text is mentioned that languages are used for a while but whit the time basically a new, better and flirtatious language and it is fine but at some point we have some survivals and one of them is Lisp, maybe not the original lisp but many of the variants, and actually they has part of the syntaxis and the features that make Lisp amm … Lisp.

The reason that is explained of the persistency of Lisp is that basically it is math and math is allways continuous.

But not just that, Lisp has conditionals, function type, recursion, and LISP was the first to support it, variables are pointers, I liked this -> values are what have types, not variables, Garbage Collection etc …

Conclussion: Maybe learn Clojure is not sooooooo bad :)
