Come on. A lack of tests or documentation isn't specific to Lisp. TBH, I'd rather use a well-designed DSL than a shitty API.


No it's not, it's way worst when it about new syntax that functions.


Alright, do you have an actual example to show?


I don't even need to go far, the last comment I had with a lisper on HN ended by :

I don't know what's the worst. That you can't help it or that you won't ever recognize you have a problem.

Unfortunaly there is no Lisp Anonymous, so people leave the language. Shame since it's a fantastic tech.


Yeah, you managed to link a comment with some code (although I agree it looks useless)... I expected a github link to some lib relying on undocumented macros.

Anyone can write bad code. Lisp certainly makes it easier, I won't deny it. And no, I don't have a problem, thank you.

If only people were homoiconic like LISP, they might be better at reflection.


If only people could properly argument...
