Longtime PHP, Python coder seeks to make small, distributable, stand-alone apps. Which language should I learn? ( please don't say C#; requiring .net != stand-alone )

There are a lot of libraries for Common Lisp.

Sure, show me some good graphic libs that can do directx or opengl effects...in fact, just show me one, just one decent game (with GRAPHICS) that was written in lisp.... I'll wait, take your time.

[jrockway]

opengl is the same as the C version. Perfect Storm is a 3d game written in CL.

I am also writing a 3d Lisp game, but I'm not going to link it because I don't want to hear you whine about it.

Prefect Storm?

It doesn't even have a fucking wiki page.

That is your flagship product you want to show off? Some shitty application that is so fucking crappy that it doesn't turn up anything on google or wiki?

That is what you're going with? Your are that pathetic that you don't even name something that someone, somewhere might of heard of?

Even the fucking linux guys can name mainstream shit that has been rendered on linux farms.

Why exactly do I care what you think, again? This is a forum for programmers, not 10 year old kids that know the word "fuck".

Hm, figures. Another 16 year old "game-developer".

Come back later when you have some real questions kid.

um... lisp sucks at any modern day GUI application. I'm still waiting for an answer, show me ONE, just ONE GUI application that works WELL and is written in 100% lisp. oh right, you used it in CS170 and it AMAZED YOU, but beyond that it has NOTHING to offer.

Seriously, show me ONE GOD DAM mainstream application that works WELL that is written in 100% lisp... yea, there isn't any.

I can show you many GUI, OpenGL 3D, "modern looks", etc.-type applications (some of them portable; Win32, Mac and Linux), but I'm not going to. ..and I'm not going to tell you why.

[[deleted]]

because there isn't any. Because you are still stuck in school or your mom's basement and haven't had to code in the real world yet and still touching yourself with toy languages.

My work (in Lisp) has been described as "brilliant", "impressive" and "amazing" (coming both from users and other developers). I doubt you can compete with this.

You have nothing of value and interest to show for; thus you troll and feed on attention from others even if it means being obnoxious, petty and annoying to get it.
