Seems to me that Lisp weenies have been outsmugged by Haskell weenies.


Read the next few ones, Lisp comes back strong.


Thanks for mentioning this. Both stories are lovely, some of the most enjoyable and intellectually satisfying writing I've read this month.

On that note, I keep dreaming that one day, someone will make a Lisp with all the code generation goodies and Haskell-grade type system. That would be my dream language to code in.

(As it is right now, I mostly do C++17 in overtly-type-safe style at work, and typed Common Lisp on the side...)
