"Lisp is, at its heart, a very mystical language, that blurs the line between programming and magic."

I like lisp, but this kind of mystical gobbledeygook is not helpful. It's worth noticing that mystics and lisp-ninnies are alike in a very important way: promising much, and delivering little. The people who actually accomplish things in lisp (Yann LeCun, Richard Fateman) do not speak in this preposterous mouth foamy way. They also don't work for overt frauds like d-wave.




Yann leCun does not use Lush anymore.
