Comment on Ask HN: Whats the best way to start web development on lisp?parent

Comments

I can't help but get the feeling I'm being trolled here, but: the C in CLISP actually stands for Common, not the C language.

You weren't being trolled; I am simply a moron.

Real morons never admit their mistakes, and are hardly self-critical. I suspect you're a fake, wannabe-moron: i.e. a closeted intelligent person, with human decency.

CLISP is not really written in C proper; but files with *.d suffix are C with heavy pre-processor use that make them look like Pascal. It also uses "var" keyword to declare new variables, along with shell-style # line comments. It also uses German for variables and comments. Things have been changing heavily as of late, and there is more push toward C style and English usage, but here is what it look(s|ed) like.

The code is beautiful and readable, but very unidiomatic.

I see you're a real one.

Calling me a moron, out of the blue, because we disagreed in another, unrelated thread? Classy.

I never used the word moron. It takes a lot of gall to use the insult you used against someone else and attempt to tar me with it.

Your lack of class is why having a reasonable discussion on this site is impossible.

Most likely he was thinking it was analogous to CPython.

Yeah... and Google has their own implementation called "African or European".
