Dear lispers and functional programers,
there's this Don Geddis now having a debate with me.
The debate is about 2 criticisms on lisp, namely its irregularities in
its nested syntax and its use of cons for list. The criticism is
presented in this essay:
“The Fundamental Problems Of Lisp” at
http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/writ/lisp_problems.html
(originally a newsgroup post)
The debate is in this long winding thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/tree/browse_frm/thread/e0ee331cfe1...
The debate start at the message where the subject is changed to “Xah
on Lisp”.
i ran out of patience in dealing with Don.
Is he just fucking with me? or should i really try a earnest effort at
the debate?
