im not sure how todays that old flame wars stays but for fun wana share my present view

im a c coder (code almost (99%) axclusively in c, almost all things that interestm me in programming are in c etc) but sporradicaly i see here or there some lines of c++ and i got funny look at it like its cobol of modern times
(which i already was knowing when i was starting c in 2001 and in thet times c++ was more popular)

i mean why i see a c++ lines the level of how interseting it to me to know what even that means is tital zero, in fact i think im more interesting in cobol than in c++

and.. c still being so much great (also as c i add some basic lov level implementation mechanisms, like how dlls are implemented, hov things map to assembly and so on..someone could say this is not c bu in my reckognition its like c programmer realm, too)

so....


ps note im not saying this to aggreviate c++ people its more for peacefull fun

Lisp is better because things like the Visitor and Factory pattern found like languages like C and C++ end up just becoming a special case of map/reduce in the Lambda Calculus.

But of course you wouldn't know nor appreciate such esoteric things since you never made it beyond high school in your third world country.

Your programming is as bad as your grammar you stupid pol. Now I see why you labor for a living. With that, go run along and go labor some more you no talent jew.

ADD 1 TO COBOL I think you mean.

DATA DIVISION.
OBJECT SECTION.
OD LISP.
01 AREGISTER LISP.
01 DREGISTER LISP.
METHOD CAR. RETURN AREGISTER. END METHOD.
METHOD CAR. RETURN DREGISTER. END METHOD.
METHOD CONS WITH OTHER LISP.
LOCAL CELL LISP.
ASSIGN NEW LISP TO CELL.
ASSIGN SELF TO AREGISTER OF CELL.
ASSIGN OTHER TO DREGISTER OF CELL.
RETURN CELL.
END METHOD.
METHOD EQ WITH OTHER LISP.
RETURN ADDRESS OF SELF EQUALS ADDRESS OF OTHER.
END METHOD.
METHOD NULLP. RETURN ADDRESS OF SELF EQUALS NIL. END METHOD.
METHOD APPEND WITH OTHER LISP.
IF SEND NULLP TO SELF THEN RETURN OTHER.
RETURN SEND CONS
TO (SEND CAR TO SELF)
WITH (SEND APPEND TO (SEND CDR TO SELF) WITH OTHER).
END METHOD.
METHOD REVERSE.
IF NULLP SEND TO SELF THEN RETURN SELF.
RETURN SEND CONS TO (SEND APPEND
TO (SEND REVERSE TO CDR OF SELF)
WITH (SEND CONS TO (SEND CAR TO SELF) WITH NIL).
END METHOD.

by cobol i meant a synonym of bloated unhandy (and unfamous of it) language

in fact c++ is far more bloated unhandy than cobol (m ainly for a reasons of disaster oop, templates and other results of design 'rules')

I'd like to point out to you dickhead heathens that one of the top Engineering schools uses Lisp, and not C++ for an undergraduate level Computer Science Class.

And here is the link to the book....

https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/full-text/book/book.html

And I'd also like to point out well known programming rule known among the Silicon Valley computer programmers...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspun%27s_tenth_rule

And I quote...

"That sounds like a joke, but it happens so often to varying degrees in large programming projects that there is a name for the phenomenon, Greenspun’s Tenth Rule: Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Common Lisp. "

So with that, if any of you flunkies wish to provide some decent response, either through a semi well thought out response, or by providing some scholarly link to rebut my statements, now is the time to do it. Otherwise go back to jerking off to animal porn. Well, midget porn in you're in the U.K. -).

Lisp is nice for learning, but useless for anything else...

Paul Graham disagrees, and Paul Graham is a very smart guy.
