HTML or virtually any other markup format is better than lisp.
Wyatt Cox
name 1 (one) thing HTML does better than s-expressions
Landon Russell
Readability.
Anthony Wright
how is any more readable than (foo (bar) (baz :qux snap))
Ayden Morales
It is. Literally everyone knows that sexprs are unreadable mess, everyone but lisp wankers.
There was this FOSS voice synth library. A comment from author said that its output is not too pretty but easily understandable. And then there were audio samples attached and you literally have no idea what the synthesized voice in them is saying. It's impossible to understand. I pondered over it for a while and realized that author worked on his garbage for so long that he learned understand it, so from his perspective it is understandable, even if not pretty.
This is how it is with lisp people. HTML is easy to read, sexpres are not. And to a person who trained himself to work with that garbage, it's impossible to understand. Your sexprs will never be accepted, so it's best to move on.

>I'm right because I'm right
>literally no argument
spamming a load of slashes everywhere and making you repeat yourself is the opposite of readability, faggot
Juan Anderson
What argument did you have again?
Easton Bailey
I gave it right there. Slashes and redundant closing tags are completely unnecessary syntactic noise. Angle brackets over parens is also an eyesore.
Brayden Walker
Redundancy is all over natural languages so it clearly helps readability.
>Angle brackets over parens is also an eyesore.
Zero self awareness.
Cameron Perez
Also:
One language instead of js and css and json and anything server side. One simple parser for everything. Perfect interoperability. No DOM bullshit.
(button (onclick (lambda (e) (alert "fuck off"))))
Gavin Sullivan
Of course it should be a simpler lisp dialect. CL is garbage.
Christian Perry
>Redundancy is all over natural languages so it clearly helps readability.
Can you name some programming languages with similar levels of redundancy?
This too.
Dylan Kelly
you are confusing programming languages and markup languages
please pay attention
Jose Perry
they're the same thing
Christopher Parker
This is your brain on lisp.
Justin Perry
>code is data is a bad idea
Dylan Edwards
In every way.
Lucas Edwards
In what way are they not? Telling computer what to do using special text constructs is programming. That's what HTML is.
Aiden Wright
HTML is not telling computer what to do. Well done not understanding basics.

Lisp is the language of GODS
Sebastian Reed
Yes it is. It's a sequential nested set of state switches.
Carter Wood
Unironically, all programming languages, markup and data formats should be replaced by lisp.
Zachary Martinez
Just because you choose to interpret it as such doesn't mean it is.
Aiden Campbell
(no sense (of (a(e(s(t(h(e(t(i(c(s))))))))))))
Mason Hernandez
I can't understand the math in the first few pages of sicp.
sorry
Joshua Thompson
(((lisp)))
Blake Mitchell
Connor Walker
Same can be said to html.
People so used to it that they understand it despite being shit to understand.
Oliver Rodriguez
Neither is lisp.
Both html and lisp are declarative.
Aiden Smith
is lisp a markup language
Dylan Roberts
you can use s-expressiosn as one, yes
Carson Cox
Why isn't it?
HTML is a declarative programing language. It's no longer just markup.
Parker Morris
that's not an answer to my question
Michael Anderson
HTML is a markup language. It was and it still is. Not sure where you're getting your cool aid from.
Wyatt Powell
Aesthetics over flexibility?
