On: Wisp: A light Lisp written in C++

[coliveira]

This demonstrates a modern distortion in software engineering where people are trained to hate other languages they don't use and reinvent the wheel in each new language. Each new language that is introduced seems to reinforce this incorrect perception and it seems that we can barely do anything else than reinventing the same old, well-tested libraries in the next "language du jour".

Modern?

Nope, language flamewars were pretty much alive on BBSs and USENET.

I have had my share against C on comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c.moderated.
