>I think you have to find that out yourself.

This won't really do anything to bring people closer to Common Lisp.

This is a bad thing btw.



Maybe you want to answer the question, why or when one should choose Common Lisp over Clojure. I have not enough knowledge about Clojure to answer that.

Thanks.


If it means that this brudgers guy stay away thats a really great thing.

Seriously reading this thread makes me so happy that we don't attract these douchebags.

Edit: friendly fire, sorry


I love Common Lisp[0], that's why I'm trying to improve it.

Yeah, using words like "douchebags" for other people in the thread reflects great on you and your closed club.

Especially since "brudgers" states his case with arguments and politely and has not sweared at anyone.


Please, he opened up a giant can of strawmen and smeared the CL community because he prefers eBooks, different kind of web design and more marketing.

So yes, I consider it douchey to open a completely pointless debate where there could have been a constructive discussion about the strengths of CL.


One man's "strawmen" are another man's real issues. If you disagree with someone on what the problems are, all he says would look like strawmen.

That doesn't warrant a "douchebag" stamp.

Plus I don't think the word "douchebag" or "douchey" os appropriate for a discussion among people that are not 17-year olds, 20-yo tops. There are far better adult swear words available if needs be.


You are right. In retrospect I am a fool.


Well, don't take it hard on yourself. We all are sometimes!


Obviously I would be redundant.


We indeed have our own trolls...
