If you ever wondered why Lispers were considered condescending, arrogant, self-absorbed dorks back in the old ways reading LoL might give you a few hints.

I can't recommend that Clojure people read Hoyte's masterpiece, because Clojure is the first "larger" Lisp without a completely horrible community and I'd like to keep it that way.




Oh, I didn't know about such "good" reputations of the lispers. Will check LoL just to get an idea why. Thanks


As a relatively recent user I can only add that the community around common lisp, while being fairly distributed, are a great bunch. I have found on average no more douches than occupy any community.
