@janneke@todon.nl @vnikolov@ieji.de @spook@pleroma.m68k.church Well, you know, my view is controversial. And back in the 1980s when we were really fighting wars about the future of #Lisp (yes, the barbarians won, hence Common Lisp), we used to say 'some people can write FORTRAN in any language' -- which is actually more or less true. I have seen some dreadful code in #Scheme in my day, and some very elegant code in Common Lisp. The modern Lisps -- #Clojure, #Jank etc. -- are worth looking at. They really do encourage good style.
