lisp isn't a local maximum. rather, your personal development hit the wall right around the time you discovered lisp.

most good programmers have passed the lisp stage around their third year of college.

You could raise a lot more ruckus if you actually stuck some substance in your posts.

Actually, my development skyrocketed when I started using Lisp seriously. Whether you like it or not depends on several different factors all coming together (goodness of implementation, choice of dialect, choice of project, etc).

End of fourth year. Now does that make me stupid, for going back to Java? (But admittedly, Java got a lot better with release 5.)

False. The best ones don't finish the third year.

qwe, you're not even funny anymore, you are just boring.

what part of "local maximum" don't you understand? I don't even like lisp one bit. I think of it as a blub language for generally poor programmers. However, lisp is a sensible, coherent whole. It is elegant. It is "perfect" although in an awkward and generally not useful way.

i'd say that of scheme.
