My first car was an old '59 Ford pickup truck I bought back in high school. It had been a three-generation truck, owned by a grandfather, father, and then the son. But it'd been in an accident and they didn't want to repair it. I bought it for all the money I had; $300. It wasn't pretty to look at, but that truck was solid. It ran like a top, had hydraulic assist brakes, granny first gear, and I could fix most anything in a pinch, even on the side of the road. If I'd been less of a disaster at that age, I'd have done the work to make it look good again.
I'm not sure what it has to do with Lisp. I think I'm just adding copy to take up space.
I wrote some Lisp code today. It wasn't much, just a little script to do a little work and generate some Java classes. I could have used any scripting language, but having a body of work ready to leverage makes Lisp the easy candidate. That I can return to the code later and understand it just adds to the allure of Lisp. In the end, it saved me a lot of time to have Lisp write the classes for me. Especially since the alternative in Android Studio is mind-numbingly slow and manually intensive.
That's all I got. Maybe more soon. I might be building a website in Lisp this week. It'll likely freak me out to spend a whole day in Lisp. I'll be sure to post something more interesting if/when that actually happens.
