A Road to Common Lisp
In Freenode's #mercurial, sjl said this about common lisp:<p><pre><code>   <sjl_>	CL code from the early 90's runs just fine on SBCL from a month ago
   <sjl_>	But trying to run five-year-old python/ruby/scala makes me hate life.
</code></pre>
This echoes his earlier blog post, volatile software:<p><a href="http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/04/volatile-software/" rel="nofollow">http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/04/volatile-software/</a><p>I kind of have the feeling that fighting bitrot is sjl's main motivation for CL.
