I'm hardly "disappointed in life" however. You, on the other hand, _should_ be disappointed, since you continue to make great claims, but _always_ fail to produce good results... <snip> > >There isn't any reason to write anything in a functional language other than why >people create their own new programming language for such as the simple >programming language that i created. To practice a few things. There are _many_ reasons for using them. I won't turn this into a programming language lecture, but you could find the reasons for such languages in any good book that discusses programming languages. <snip> > >I know you are completely lacking any knowledge here to be able to judge >anything, but you should like me try to have a look after the program Paradise >from Wilkins.

I've worked on a large LISP project in the past. The last thing I did was a large augmented transition network that parsed natural language. Of course, when it comes to "not letting a lack of knowledge stop one from spouting nonsense" you certainly wrote the book on that topic... <snip> > >You don't even know the syntax from LISP this is amazing :) You are the one that apparently doesn't know the lisp syntax. It can be hard to read, sometimes it can be quite readable, depending on how the code is written. This has already been discussed here by better LISP programmers than myself however, and _certainly_ better LISP programmers than you. > >No it is not so easy like in C to write good readable source code. > >Jeez i'm really talking to a complete LISP beginner here. Did you mean "to a" or "like a"? You are doing your usual "If I can't do it, it can't be done" thing again. It still is not true...
