>> Compared to Haskell, Lisp is a big hack.

We're being trolled, right?

No substantive material here, just the assertion that building a minimal Lisp is worthless. If you really want to…what? Provide value? Do something worthwhile?…then build an entire language, he says.

I'm sorry, but I'll write my "hello world!" program as an MVP and learn what I can from it. If I want to become a pro at PLs, then maybe I'll build an entire language.

It's not harmful. Hair won't grow on my palms. Let me experiment.
