101 Mottos

[m i c h a e l]

It's time to begin a collection of the mottos applied to newLISP. Let's start with the original:

"Puts the fun back in LISP."

Who was the first to say this?



What follows is a quick gleaning of the club's recent posts for anything even resembling a motto.

"newLISP, the best programming language on earth."

"newLISP: Easier than you thought it was going to be, given that it has "Lisp" in its name!"

"newLISP follows the principle of surprisingly easy."

"newLISP: Not as surprising as you thought!"

"newLISP: Prepare not to be astonished."

"Just stop thinking and let newLISP do the talking."

"newLISP: Easier than it looks, even though it looks easier than you thought it looked!"

"newLISP resembles the art of meditation."

"The power of LISP, the fun of Ruby."

"newLISP is not even that bad at all."

"newLISP Just Worked. Out of the box. First time."

"newLISP for world peace!"

"newLISP: We have three weapons: easiness and surprise!"

We're on our way to "Most mottoed language in history." Hey, that's another motto!



Don't be shy about adding your own magnificent mottos or combing the club's posts for others. We have a long way to go till we reach 101! What happens if we have more than 101? Or we don't get to 101? Don't ask.

A Lisp that doesn't suck

Actually this is a devious allusion to a quote from some guy called Paul Graham, "The good news is, it's not Lisp that sucks, but Common Lisp." http://www.paulgraham.com/popular.html">//http://www.paulgraham.com/popular.html and wouldn't he just hate to be (mis)quoted here! ;-)



and it's also a bit of a steal from BareBones Software, the makers of BBEdit...

14... (or should I be counting from 0?)

Perhaps you meant "(or shouldn't I be counting from 0?)", since "A Lisp that doesn't suck" makes 15? ;-)

newLISP: because hackers are lazy.

"Have you heard? There's a newLISP in town."

This isn't NewLISP specific but how about



"If it doesn't have APP or MAP the language is CR*P!"

[m i c h a e l]

newLisp is good stuff!

[HPW]

My motto is always: Use the right tool to get the job done!



So adapted to newLISP:



newLISP is mostly the right tool to get the job done!



;-)

[m i c h a e l]

mostly

*lol*

[camperman]

an uncommon kind of LISP :)

[m i c h a e l]

a LISP for the rest of us.

Took this one off the (newlisper) site :-)

[Sammo]

newLisp: an uncommon Lisp!



edit: oops! didn't see Camperman's post above

[newdep]

newLisp, puts the dot on Lisp!

[m i c h a e l]

Without counting Jeremy's motto (as he admits, not newLISP-specific) we have a grand total of 22 (unverified) mottos about newLISP! Almost one quarter of the way there already. Need to go think of another one . . .

Heheh is wish you luck, I started once the 99 ways of alternative smily's in this group..ended up with the strangest results finaly ;-)





newLisp, AKA ->

"programming in the quick and effcient way you aways dreamed of but where never able to accomplish with other programmnig languages"





newLisp is like "Italian saus" over a dellicious pasta,

you dont need much to love it!





newlisp is the only language that could (define cornflakes!)
