Dick Gabriel on Lisp

When I saw, at the beginning of the course, how Lisp is and how it works, I thought that the language was very strange, because of the number of parenthesis that are needed in the lines of the code. But when I begin to work a little bit more with it, the parenthesis had their sense to be there.  I think that this language is very efficient in terms of time and complexity. And after reading the previous readings I´m beginning to believe that this language is very important, and that is a language that must be more known by the programmers around the world. 

With the speech of Rick, it is more evident or clearer, that this language is almost “indestructible”, at least that´s my opinion now that I´m beginning this course added to what I read and listened.

It’s important to mention that in the past, when Lisp was starting to be used, when the companies affront to develop the best quality code and one company used Lisp against the others that didn’t know the existence of Lisp, the ones who used other languages than Lisp always lose in terms of time and quality, and when the loser companies tried to find the way they hacked the system or the way they cheat on works, finally never know why they win with an unknown language that was weaker that conventional languages.

It´s important to know all the weapons you can use when you must work in any project, so you can use the better option based on the requirements of the work, so your enemies never surprised you.

 I think that Lisp can be used in many different cases, so programmers have to make the most of it. I hope to listen more about Lisp in the future as a strong -programming language.
