>dead language
I'm not a fool

Because I use Haskell and C++.

Clojure is not even lisp.

Why wouldn't it be a Lisp?

would probably still take haskell

JVM really sucks at dynamic languages.
One of the Jython founders tried to prove that CLR was worse at dynamic languages than JVM, so he made IronPython.
The hilarious thing is that IronPython performs twice as well as Jython.

I am, canpicker.com is written in it.

i am using it.

the syntax is retarded compared to other lisps

how so? I find it more concise and quicker to write

I'd just use Elixir to get a better VM desu

Why aren't you using the best lisp, OP?

this

CLR actually has support for dynamic typing though.

because haskell is better than lisps

This desu senpai

>worst lisp

Step aside.

>dynamic typing
>full of workarounds to deal with dynamic typing like "specs" and unit testing like a retarded

Just use a real language.

racket is not lisp. It's literally sepples in lisp clothing

Fun to fuck around with and having the java libs is nice.

yeah and having clojurescript and being able to interop with javascript. and being able to have cljc files and write code once and use both places.

schemes are just algol in lisp clothing really

that's a good schlogo

...

Exactly. Which is why I'm wondering how much of a moron the Jython guy is.

s-expressions != Lisp

try programming with common lisp to understand why

primary thing is macros and symbolic manipulation

this is so retarded and shows why people who say they use Lisp have no idea what Lisp really is

Lisp macros and symbols are useless in Lisp without s-expressions

I guess the HL3 meme isn't dead yet
