The Clojure Mindshare (2019)
&gt; Lisp is the most expressive and flexible language. You can reach a flow-state where ideas can freely flow from your mind into code<p>This kind of claim typically comes from someone pretty new to the world of software development.<p>You can say this of any language, really, and any developer who&#x27;s reasonably proficient in language X will also claim that with X, their ideas flow directly into code.<p>&gt; The Lisp programming language Racket is used to teach programming fundamentals in modern Computer Science courses.<p>Unsurprising cherry picking. How many universities teach Racket compared to, Javascript C&#x2F;C++, or Java?<p>The rest of the article is of the same cloth, raving about Lisp and Clojure as the best programming languages ever invented.<p>You should learn Lisp, no matter what kind of developer you are. But by today&#x27;s standards, Lisp a pretty antiquated language which still hasn&#x27;t caught up to modern trends (static types, asynchronism, etc...) and with a very poor tooling (lack of IDE&#x27;s) and library ecosystem (building websites, parallelism, GUI, etc...).
