Poll: Why you do not use Lisp?

[Kazimir Majorinc]

Please, support the poll. The results might
be of interest for whole Lisp community
and some other groups.

* If you use say, Clojure, Newlisp, Pico,
Scheme etc - it means "I use Lisp"

* If you use, say, Scheme AND C, then
you can vote on the poll to explain why
you do use C and not some of the dialects
of Lisp.

* Comments about better questions are welcome,
but I cannot change it any more.

Thank you,

What about Dylan? What about Qi, and if Qi counts, what about ML and
Haskell?

[Kazimir Majorinc]

Yes, Paul, borderline cases. I think it is best to shrugg the
responsibility for chosing the definition and say that:

Everyone should judge for himself. If some Haskell user
believes that Haskell is Lisp, and he wants to vote, he
should vote like he uses Lisp - and if he believes Haskell
isn't Lisp, he should vote like he doesn't use Lisp.

How do you want "it's not statically typed" categorized?

Precisely my reason too.

[Kazimir Majorinc]

I think it deserves "not enough support for higher level
programming" - at least from the point of view of those
who prefer statically typed languages.
