Right. I picked a *really terrible* subject line to basically discuss the question of whether Clojure is the language that answered most of Yegge's concerns about Lisp adoption. Thanks to Alex, I think that the answer is almost certainly "yes". @Tim Daly: I don't know a lot about Lisp, but I do know a little bit about rhetoric vs. rationality, and that post had the ring of truth to it. It read like the work of a legit advocate searching for reasons why the target of his advocacy was not widely adopted in a kind of soul-searching way. As such I think it's an effective work. Of course, I could be wrong and Yegge might have written the whole thing as merely an attention getting ploy. That possibility exists for every written work, but I see no compelling evidence for that belief. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
