There is a price to pay for a better programming language. C++ is fast and crashes fast. Its data structures are at the same time complex and inflexible. Many Lisp dialects are tuned for flexibility and some add a bit of performance to it. C++ comes from a different angle. It provides more performance, but it is fully inflexible.<p>Still people can do interesting stuff. For example the Crash Bandicoot games for the early Playstation were written in a low-level Lisp dialect with an external compiler implemented in Common Lisp. It ran on a tiny Playstation with cute graphics and sold very well.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Crash_Bandicoot" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Crash_Bandicoot</a>
