If there really was a tool (whether that be hardware or software or a combination) that for a couple of thousand dollars would genuinely make you 10x more productive, you'd be an absolute fool not to run out now and buy it.

Since people aren't willing to do this it goes to show that the claims of the Lisp junkies are just pipe dreams.

If programming on an all Lisp environment really was 10x more productive even a ten thousand dollar price tag would be chicken feed.

Lisp fans like to talk it up about how great it is, but at the end of the day are unwilling to put their money where their mouths are.




This is only the case if productivity is your only concern. There are also considerations such as support, security, and familiarity.
