cute but you don't get lisp yet.

I would be very interest in seeing how "getting lisp" enables you to write software that is more successful than the C and C++ software that runs the world. Perhaps you have written software in Lisp demonstrating this? Something you can show us?

The reference text on time keeping used to be implemented in Lisp.

Alan Kay says a lot of problems with C/C++ go away when using the higher math more easily expressible in Lisp and like minded languages.

Jürgen Schmidhuber says the problem with computers from a mathematician's point of view are the numbers.

Go ate a big lunch from Java, C and a bit of C++ as a systems' language, which Go was designed as "C sucessor without the C++ bullshit". Even the most modern C (Plan9/9front, not what the ANSI C comitee vomits in every iteration) it's a very different beast.

Still, Common Lisp it's in places where trying to build such kind of software in C/C++ would be a reciper for disasters.
