Now I believe you are trolling. Before I was thinking you were trying to
learn Lisp.

You must be new here. Not only is he a troll, he's a troll without
visions. *One* box? :-)

I struggled to learn Lisp. So I thought he was just venting his
frustration.

I am a bit naive, so if I would not troll, then I would not expect
anyone else do it as well. This is why,I guess, I would give people a
benefit of doubt.

whats funny is I am not trolling

I work for some of biggest websites in USA

such garbage software youve never seen

and huge amount of hardware to run it

then more garbage to manage it all

I am astounded more lisp startups and shops dont exist.

Garbage is very simple to write in and about any
programming language including lisp.

I think lisp could be far more efficient and take far fewer man hours to produce results.

The flaw in your argument is that there is no doubt. The flaw in your reasoning is thinking everyone is like you. That is not naive, that is unscientific.

Where is the "don't feed the trolls" ascii art when we need it?

There is room for doubt because my perception of reality is not perfect.
Also, I do not use boolean logic to judge people.

my work has donzens of these boxes and only achieves 3 hits a second

couldnt lisp powered app server do much much beeter?

less code??

why arent lispers doing startup corps all over making all these java oracle or php idiiots look inefficient by contrast?

ningle
lisp on lines
restas
weblocks
etc.

Lets say you can afford to hire people who win programming contests.
At moment such people mostly prefer C++. Why people, who win
programming contests, prefer C++? Are programming contests skewed?
Unlikely. Anything can be solved with lisp. It is probably problem of
education. Anyway it is unlikely you can convince stars to switch now.

So you get best modules written in C++. Rest of your code has to
interoperate with the core "star written" modules. The problem
boils down to ease of integrating, debugging and profiling such
symbiosis. PHP, C#, Python and Java integrate with modules written in
C++ well enough. How well lisp integrates?

And I thought (like the SLDJ crowd touts) that C++ was a "low productivity language" 3:)

In any case: C integration to and from Lisp is easy. Check out CFFI or the more low-level facilities provided on a per-implementation basis (there is more than one CL implementation).

As per C++ integration, I'd wager (I amy be wrong) that the integration provided by the various SLDJs (and Java/JNI) always relies on an abundant sprinkling of 'extern "C" { ... }' in your C++ code.

From the GCC INSTALL:

"GCC now uses C++ as its implementation language. This means
that to build GCC from sources, you will need a C++ compiler
that understands C++ 2003."

Any opensource project where the stanford investors have a stake is
likely to be converted to C++ because of the finer control it offers on
the toolchain and the finer control on C++ developer salaries. C++ is
additionally a wise choice from a HR point of view. "If some is
skillful enough to understand the C++ spec Du Jour, and persists in
programming in it, he is a good NWOSlave: i.e. he take this much sh**,
can eat anything his managers can dish out". Besides a new version of
the spec can help pre-empt a fresh workforce batch.

| In any case: C integration to and from Lisp is easy. Check out CFFI

CFFI/ASDF integration addresses some of the HR issues I mentioned in the
above paragraph, but has a long way to go before it gets to be a
profitable alternative for C++

I am no more an expert than Marco on C++ integration, but I imagine SWIG
could be the point of entry if you are looking at interfacing to it. I
cannot recommend CFFI because of its dependencies on ASDF and other
developer-ecology-based libraries, I prefer UFFI and using
lisp-implementation-specific callbacks. In this case SWIG/UFFI-bindings
support seems to be intentionally crippled, in favour of
allegro/cffi. But one gets a usable interface to SWIG by using the
SWIG/SEXP-bindings and translating that to UFFI. ---Madhu

Yeah, like Gabor Melis!

He's might be the only Lispy one, though.

integrate?

The point is to stop making that a goal.

Replace all the java shit with good working code and use HTML as the lingua franca.

ideally drop sql database too

www.prevayler.org and webserver but both in say lisp haskell or smalltalk etc..

www.happstack.com is almost complete example of this.

I ama amazed hapstack hasnt been rewritten in lisp and cl-prevalence I am not sure if its maintained, working etc.. but seems so

Yes, my point was that better is to cooperate not to compete. Nothing needs
to be destroyed in IT world for to build something because gigabyte costs
few cents but filling it with source code takes man-centuries.

Based on what?

I want to see lisp used for high performance websites as an alternative to java.

Is that just batshit insane to you?
