I'd wish people stop post all crappy blogposts about shallow language-comparisons.

Saying language X does Y in 4 lines instead of language Zs 5 lines just doesn't say much unless you put it in a bigger perspective.

(And I like Python very much and hate Java).

P vs NP is a pretty real problem, complexity theory is superimportant.

People how can't do proper Big-O-analysis are forever doomed to suck at programming.

Does anyone else think so? I'm using Clojure a lot and really like it.

But Lisp has been around for 50 years and never hit the mainstream so it seems there perhaps is something about it that doesn't fit with most programmers?

Also it only offers one form of concurrnecy and while I like it there is still much speculation and research in the area. Scala for example kind of builds on the whole Java-language and offers a more recognizable language for Java-developers and more opportunities to roll your own concurrency-mechanisms, or at least that's the impression I've gotten.

And then we have Haskell and Erlang.

If you don't undertand complexity and algorithms you will likely run in t huge performance problems at some point and that will make your whole program useless.

No matter the type of programming complexity and algorithms is involved.

So it is more like saying "not understanding how a car works will make it very hard for you to design or build one".
