It doesn&#x27;t matter what you say about Lisp, there will always be people on HN who vigorously defend it to their last dying breathe it seems. The idea of a language not being (one(definition(after(another)))) seems foreign to these people, as if making everything a function call solves all problems (or maybe, that is what the HN crowd really believe?).<p>If only programming problems could be solved by lots of functions calls!! The truth is the difficulty exists in the solving of problems, not how many functions you define. If someone thinks you re-invented Lisp at some point, then either they do not understand the problem or they fail to understand the solution.. or of course; they do not care what you have written and instead think you have not used enough parenthesis.
