I've been reading the beloved Paul Graham's "Hackers and Painters". He claims he developed a web app at light speed using Lisp and lots of macros.
It got me curious if Lisp is inherently faster to develop complex apps in. It would seem if you could create your own language in Lisp using macros that that would be quite an advantage.... I realize that Python has operator overloading and OOP so I'm not sure. Any ideas? Any *evidence* one way or another? thanks! Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
