Yesterday I had it first time in my life when the person I told about and all the hacky stuff I'm into came to me after few years saying he realized that's really cool stuff and whats to know more.

Damn. At least one person. I've almost lost any faith in 'cool-tech evangelism'

@shegeley i can feel you so much #lisp langs are so superior to anything else and i have often times the feeling the tech industry doesn't realize how awesome this tech is. Everyone just follows the hype made up by google and other big tech.

@m3tti
I imagined angry suited balding fat corporate boss with Mircosoft Surface smashing the table with his fist: «LISPs? No way! Programmers shouldn't have FUN at WORK!»

@shegeley i guess also a problem is the alien syntax which is really no problem if you know why it is the way it is and that its the only thing that has real syntax :D. And the other thing is people don't get what it means to have a programmable programming language its to abstract if you never worked with it. Even for me it just clicked really the last years where i saw the raise of llms and i was like wait why can a computer do stuff i do all the time. Cause it is repetitive work. How can i circumvent it exactly with a programmable programming language. Cause now i can encapsulate my repetitive work if i have to.
