Lisp is Sin

April 11th 2006 Posted to General

A Microsoft employee talks about his experiences with Lisp/Scheme, the current state of the Lisp world and how Lisp might and should change. And how alluring Lisp is to the non-Lisp programmer yet being unaccessible.

My favorite quote:

I could never quite make up my mind about Lisp - I used to oscillate between “Wow - I love the way my brain hurts. This is so much fun” to “Normal people will find this too tough. Lisp weenies!”.
