Considering said algorithms are implemented for the most part by the same programming language they are serving, I have an hard time accepting that conclusion.Originally Posted by MDofRockyView

I waste too much time racking my brain over how many close perentheses I need. Haskell is just as powerful and I can produce a finished product much faster using it than I can lisp or scheme.HERETIC!!! Personally, Lisp is my choice of language for just about anything.
If I was teaching I'd use C and Pascal as languages for students to learn, but if the kids are autistic then I'd teach Assembly and INTERCAL.
I too am quite fond of lisp. It's a very powerful language, I only blame myself for not getting into it sooner (back when I was investigating it, there was no book on par with "Practical Common Lisp" which is, I think the best Lisp book there is for novices/people wanting to just learn lisp.) And of course if you're more of a minimalist you always have Scheme.Originally Posted by pianorain
Well, more power to ya, but personally I find that Lisp allows me to do very rapid development, after you use it for a rather short period of time, parenthesis don't bother you as much and you can keep up with them pretty easily in your head I've found (of course I still count myself, but SLIME and Emacs (Lisp in a Box package) help out with that a lot.)Originally Posted by valis

I think its good to go to wikipedia and read about these known languages.

What, you don't have an editor that shows matching parentheses?Originally Posted by valis
This is definitely true. IMO, Haskell's about as good as it gets. It's like, "Okay, I need a feature-complete parsing library." [5 mins later] "Whoops, I'm done. What next?"Originally Posted by valis
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who cringed when reading the beginning of this sentence and those who salivated to how superior they are for understanding something as simple as binary.
Well for a (long) while I actually used vi (just out of habit) so I didn't have syntax highlighting and the like, now that I'm using vim I have parenthese matching, but I'd already discovered haskell.
