		swombat on March 3, 2009 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I hate Lisp Why would someone lookup a value in a property list when you could write a simple routine in Macro-11 that would find the value in a table? Why indeed! I'm glad Lisp is finally dead so that we can all go back to writing assembler code optimised for the cycle allocations of a specific cpu. If only we could get back all the time wasted writing all that silly code with all those silly parentheses!

Note to people writing a lengthy, angry reply: this article, and this comment, are both satire.

Check the other posts on the blog. It's a lisp blog.
