I FUCKING HATE DYNAMIC TYPING

Name: Anonymous 2014-07-07 19:07

I've spent hours trying to figure out what's wrong and it was because this shit silently accepted a vector in place of a scalar. FUUUUCK FUCKETY FUUUUCK. Static typing should be everywhere, even in math software, even in fucking Python, I want ALL programming to always be strictly and statically typed. Fucking idiots, ARRGGH.

Nope. The biggest reason Lishp is shit is because it's just another run-of-the-mill imperative language (or group of languages, whatever) with the usual cancerous set of disadvantages: everything's mutable, concurrency is shit, everything depends on everything and can launch missiles, everything's bug-ridden, there's no type inference, etc. So since Lithp is so unoriginal, we take the one thing in it that's remotely original, and that's Sexprs™. And we test if at least that one thing could be useful in improving Haskell. And it's not, Sexps are overrated and not really useful for Haskell (goodbye Liskell!). And that leaves nil, nada, Nothing that could be useful about Lishp. Therefore, Lithp is shit through and through, and when someone asks why Lighthp is shit, you could name any one of the reasons and the type system often comes off the top of the head. But that doesn't mean Lithp and Scheme are shit only because of their type systems, that's just the tip of the fecal iceberg of Lithp. It is true that Lishshp is shit because of its type system, but it's also shit for a myriad other reasons and one can enumerate any subset of them really.
