Revenge of the Nerds

Every programming language has its purpose or its strong point. What with a language programming can do it more or less acceptable time, with another can perform it faster and efficiently. Depending on the requirements of the program is that you must choose the language that suits us.

Seems to me amazing how LIPS being a language that was created ago many years (60 years to be exact) and, it is today considered such a powerful language, due to the way that it  was developed. I agree that when a new language is developed, you should think ahead, not only trying to solve the problem that we have in front, and that not only we must consider when creating new languages, but rather to everything, for example when a program is being developed.

Another important aspect that it can be highlighted of the article is that it gives us an advice, whenever we are developing something, we have to think of the customer, we must design our programs to please the client, because if we win the customers confidence, we will have more opportunities to grow as a new company.

Something that is true, LIPS is a comfortable language in a matter of that, usually, the programs developed are short in terms of lines of code. Another advantage of LISP is that it has an extensive library where you find methods for almost everything, without having to implement it on your own, so you can focus on other aspects of the program rather than on simple things like sort something.

Of this article we can conclude that any decision on what language we must use should be based on the approach of the company and competition, you can not define if one language is better than another, but experience in the development industry will help us to choose the one that suits us.
