What on earth are you talking about? Are you a SQL consultant or a professional Troll or what am I missing here?
Almost every website or software running a business I can think of runs sql. The very small few that don't, google for example, run on c++ and assembly.
So, in 2012, with gigs of ram and postgres, why would I use lisp?
Why not just do relational programming - prolog or sql. The lisp weenies still don't get it.
And now you've peppered the entire thread with non sequiturs and off-the-wall droppings. Please take a break.
I'm simply trying to tell the kids on here that SQL is great and ROR/LISP/NoSQL worship around these parts is misguided. No 'droppings' in that.
Yes, I write Lisp on my resume to make me look like a stronger candidate. I learnt it a few years ago for fun, that's all (I'm not a lisp flip-flopper). Just want to put the advice out there to be a relational weenie (instead of lisp weenie).
If you have something to say about the actual post, then please say it. Otherwise, get out.
Lisp is useful to me (more useful than ruby or C was), predominantly because I can work with emacs/swank/slime and change and query my program while I'm observing its output.
