Lisp for Websites, or just Lisp in General
Anyone have experience using Lisp in conjunction with the web? If not, anyone have experience with Lisp in general? After reading Paul Graham's Hackers & Painters, I *oddly* feel the urge to play with it.

Yeah! i have played with LISP before... believe me I haven't seen a language syntax as intimidating as LISP
everything is a function there... e.g.
PS: I forgot how to comment 
Code: Select all
(+ 1 2) //add
(- 9 8) //sub
(princ "n00b Saibot") //print- n00b Saibot

Yeah! sure it is intriguing, and brain-racking too..nigma wrote:I'm familiar with the syntax and I don't think it's that intimidating... Well, if it is intimidating, it's at least intriguing also.
I have done programming in LISP while using AutoCAD with my former employer. They had to automate building a big project's reports & plans which always took about a month to complete manually(using AutoCAD). After I completed this automation, they would do it in half an hour flat. I got 250% raise and a hearty applaud by boss. Boy, was I happy that daynigma wrote:Why hasn't anyone done any web programming with LISP! Someone get neilsene in here, I bet he has.

I tell you it was really fun all around as you put it... but now I knida long for the days when I used to program nearly all different languages... now I'm kinda stuck to PHP (& ASP) in my current jobnigma wrote:Sounds like fun all around: programming in a new language, getting a 250% raise and applause from the boss, and making a process more efficient. Congrats.
