Is lisp a meme, or is it as good as Richard Stallman says it is?
I'm from a C++ background.
Currently I program in C because it's the only language to make libraries that can be easily used from other languages, also I do some projects from time to time.
When ever I'm programming in something that's not Common Lisp I wish I was programming with Common Lisp. I love the macros, and if you don't like something you can modify the parser.
The language is sweet, too bad that there's no statically typed common lisp. Deploying applications is also ugly because you have to pack the whole runtime with your application or tell users to install lisp.

Sounds too good to be true. I'm currently learning emacs, maybe I can get some lisp knowledge out of it.
Thanks for your help!
if keeping track of the exact number of open brackets and closing them at the end of a function is annoying, why not define a symbol or command that instructs the compiler to close all open brackets?

no one keeps track of the brackets the text editor takes care of it for you

Lisp is the perfect language. Macros are the most powerful programming tool ever made, and lisp makes them possible in an elegant way.

Just so you know, the lisp general moved to lainchan's /lambda/ board. You can find resources and otner lisp programmers there.

Shen is statically typed and implemented in common lisp
