@nihilazo @eli_oat @technomancy @csepp The thing I like about lisps is the ability to build functions around snippets until I've written a whole program. It's interactive and pleasant. I agree that the advocacy is distracting. The book Let Over Lambda has interesting ideas but it's *so* convinced that lisp is always the best. I sometimes find it hard to read too. It's easy for different patterns to look visually similar.

Advocacy is important for new tech. People are invested in what they know and use. For them to change, you need to be *persuasive*.
