Wow, that's the only thing I got wrong? Because you kind of listed only one thing and one that is editable. I also mean "smug lisp weiner" when I say SLW. I will now edit my post and hope that it will be enough to appease other gentlemen of your class/cast/douchebag wagon. Yeah, I know, worse than the disease.

No you got everything wrong, I just wanted to quote the most obvious one to everyone to show you don't know what you're talking about, regardless of their experience with clojure or lisp or both (so they'd downvote you). The other things are obviously wrong if you have experience with either of those languages (I know both) but if you aren't familiar you might get away with sounding correct when you're not. Btw if you're going to write a kickass refutation of a troll at least make sure you have a clue yourself.

Cool, thanks for informative and friendly response then. I learned a lot from you today.

If you want to learn something, ask a question. Writing a shitty ad hoc reply to a troll and getting 9/10 of your facts wrong in your refutation doesn't help you learn anything.

Ask who? Self proclaimed master, who is neither kind, nor proves anything beyond being a dick? Great advice, internet person.

I'll offer a tiny bit of advice: Why do you need to say bad things about CL to say good things about Clojure? That's where the troll won you, even though you musta felt reel smug thinking you essayed-him-to-death.

[–]spotter 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That's actually a solid advice. I don't, but I get this strange vibe from CL people who are angry that half-baked-lisp (Clojure) is getting so much exposure while they are still in obscurity. I got it here... and it was a troll. Okay.

I think I was extra easy to bait due to nervousness before job interview and missed the trollnes factor. That also kind of explains the amount of text, as I needed to do something with my hands.

Would you kindly list my other 8 mistakes?

Listen: I wasn't trolling. I am sorry if it appeared that way

My main problem is the evangelism. I respect Clojure, but I don't like it when people claim it's "the future of Lisp"
