>>8 will keep in mind :^)
>>9 Your point is compelling.
And, in an ironic fashion, I find a lot of open source to be a sort of psychosis.
Perhaps deep down I just want to see how and what smart Lispers are up to.
Smart programmers are up to. If I were more determined I'd scour the blogs, and maybe I will.
Open source and most social grounds online are a sort of neurotic playground for the most part.
So are most "alive" communities. So your post serves as a reminder.
There's a biting self-awareness about an emphasis on "social" which I completely agree with. People escape into "social" as an excuse or as a distraction most of the time; at least in my experiences in working with others.
To dig into why I wrote up this thread:
Just looking for more ethos behind the words, "I'm going to use Lisp for my next <x>." - I am not confident enough to do such a thing at the moment.
In a more skin-ripping reflection, probably just trying to find joy in programming and the last time I found that was using Lisp and using Emacs but now I use neither :^)
