After writing an article trashing java, and C++, notable LISP guru
Paul Graham is getting roasted on slashdot. Apart from AutoCAD and
Emacs, what has LISP done anyway? Most real work is done in C++ or C
in the case of systems development. Perl is useful, but only for
dynamic web content or simple sysadmin scripts. Most slashdotters
think the same!

Some are comparing Graham to Eric S. Raymond for his snobery. LISP's
era ended when MIT's AI Lab threw out their LISP machines for SUN
workstations!
