@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.

I'm not convinced that offering the staging area is a good default for git. It's an abstraction that newcomers have to learn before their first commit. Subversion style "commit every tracked file" isn't as pretty (`git add` is general) but it's the common case.

Businesses are increasingly choosing individual apps rather than buying entire suites from the same vendor: https://capiche.com/p/enterprise-software-is-dead (I'm not convinced it's that easy to switch though: established tools tend to have lots of integrations set up.)
