Python is nothing like Lisp, and for good reason!
I would disagree with this. Actually, it's the most Lisp-
like language I've encountered in my 25 years of writing
software.
Really? I'm sorry that you have only encountered a few
"academic languages". Do some googling, there are literally
thousands of them in the wilds.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I've been exposed
to quite a few programming languages over the years, and my personal
assessment (based on the features I consider important from my own
personal point of view) is that Python is the closest to Lisp of the
ones that I would consider using. It's definitely closer to Lisp than
C, or Java, wouldn't you agree? I don't see where you get the idea
that I was only exposed to "academic languages".
You don't have to respond to Rick. He specializes in sarcasm and
sneering. He usually goes by "Ranting Rick." This has been fairly tame
for his postings, but it still doesn't require a response :)
