You are absolutely right. The arrogance of Lisp developers is just breathtaking. Especially because the very same developers have no evidence to support their claims. The world runs on C/C++/JavaScript. Not Lisp.
Yes, honestly, I love lisp, although my only claim to being a lisp programmer is that I'm the author of some emacs packages. But I have to admit that yes I've noticed a definite tendency for people in the emacs lisp community to be abrasive and difficult and not very friendly in open source work. I think perhaps more of them are in university-related jobs in europe and hence haven't experienced the wonderful fake friendliness of california tech companies.
Thanks for being honest about it. Lots of kudos! It is fine to be happy with a specific language. It is not fine (and very immature) to assume everybody else are idiots. Especially when those “idiots” have created all the software we use.
