I mean, If you ignore the advances in engineering and computer research of the last half century and just go with something new, different and unproven because a friend told you so, can you really blame technology?

They killed peasants and mercenaries instead. The knights they took hostage for ransom.

Cool story bro.

But if I may, I believe treating inanimate objects as women puts them off more than LISP.

If you want to get into the US, as a foreigner. A year of college is worth more than a year of work experience.

Some people look at a new language and don't see anything that proves it was made after the 1970s.

Moronga is a common enough dish in mexican cuisine (and a few other countries). It's a sausage made with pig's blood.

It's been opensourced which as far as I can tell, means that the developers wash their hands now and leave to move on to new, easier and more fun things than writing a decent text editor. They delivered half of what they promised 1 year overdue. But I guess if you want something done now you're free to write it yourself ;)

Use emacs and melpa and you'll really feel the thrill of constant updates.

So you're unwilling to learn something potentially better because you're were offended by a (surely) tiny portion of its userbase? Lose the childish attitude. You owe it to your craft and users to keep learning and using better tools.

Heh, might as well just use another language at this time. Guido himself seemed to be very pissed off at the common lispers for being forced to add some functional language features. You can see it from the crappy implementations of single-arity lambdas, non lazy map, filter, reduce, etc. The language will never catch up to the times, as evident in the lame feature list in python 3. Most python users seem blissfuly ignorant of modern languages and Guido doesn't seem to like learning new stuff either.
