One day I got bored of Java. So I learned a little Lisp and what I | |
found was a surprise (the land of lisp): It is the language so unique | |
and so expressive, so that coding never looks the same within my eyes. | |
Now I eat parentheses for breakfast. And if my program isn't done, I | |
eat parentheses for lunch (the land of lisp). They might look funny | |
but they have semantic power, that gives your program lots of brevity | |
and punch! | |
Simple but refined guaranteed to blow your mind (the land of lisp). | |
Minimal and sleek, but still so clever you will freak (the land of | |
lisp). | |
In lisp we don't force everything to be an object. You just write a | |
bunch of functions, higher-order is preferred (the land of lisp). | |
That way you can combine your code in richer ways, because the lack of | |
state will always be ensured. | |

One, two, three, four! | |
* Meow, meow (ba dum dum dum) meow, meow ... * | |
Advanced lispers are not normal. They use macros in their code and | |
are a truly different breed (the land of lisp). Any problem they want | |
to solve, they convert lisp into a "domain specific language" that can | |
do, exactly what they need. There is nothing cooler than a macro. It | |
makes meta programming and DSLs a piece of cake (the land of lisp). | |
Create your own mini language to parse XML, rate stocks, draw charts, | |
or balance weasels on a rake. | |
