Different take on a revenge film. Dark, not easy to watch at times. Thought the ending worked.

Amphorae XII Trip | Wednesday

Another day, another adventure; this time an academic one! Today marked my first day at a Classics conference. I am fortunate to have heard so many wonderful presentations, yet I wish I could have split myself in two so I could be in both theatres at once! For many of the attendees, this was also their first conference, and for some, even their first time presenting, so I want to emphasise just how impressive the research and presentation were for each and every one! 

I won’t go into detail about the topics - I believe that to be the privilege of the researcher - but it’s good to see so many promising studies being conducted around Australia and New Zealand. Keep an eye out for these up and coming Classicists, and if you know them, please direct them this way! I’d love to feature them for either Follow/Feature Friday or Scholar Spotlight Sunday.

First up, I attended the Gender and Classics panel:  

Natalia Polikarpova, ‘Seneca the Younger’s Ad Marciam: Constructing an Example of Emphasized Femininity.’

Isabelle Duroe, ‘Monsters and Meaning in Statius’ Thebaid.’

Sinead Brennan-McMahon ‘Expurgating the tribas from Victorian editions and commentaries of Martial’s Epigrams.’

Next, I attended (and presented in) the Roman History panel: 

Elisabeth Slingsby, ‘Back by Popular Demand: Electing Tyrants in Cornelius Nepos’ Lives of Miltiades and Timoleon.’

James Winestock, ‘Too Much Booty – The Effect of War Profits on Rome’s Second Century.’

Ryleigh Adams, ‘Pompey’s Eastern Settlements: Considerations and Consequences’ - that’s me!

While I was in my chosen panels, another lecture theatre ran simultaneously. In the morning, there was the Greek Literature panel:

Robert Drummond, ‘Interpreting the gods in Oedipus Tyrannus.’

Natalie Looyer, ‘Odysseus, Aristotle and heroic one-upmanship in Homer’s Iliad.’

Edward Armstrong, ‘Religion and Disaster in Thucydides' History.’

And in the afternoon, the AWAWS (Australasian Women in Ancient World Studies) panel:

Katie Logan, ‘“Sulpicia’s all dressed up for you”: The Construction of the Sulpician Persona in [Tibullus] 3.8.’

Beth Lord, ‘Saints and Soothsayers: Early Christian Perceptions of Women Using and Practicing Medicine in Gaul.’

Nova Petrechko, ‘‘Women and Priscillian’ or ‘Priscillian’s Women’?: Women’s Religious Experience in Fourth-Century Hispania and Southern Gaul.’

Finally, we all finished the day by attending a wonderful keynote address by Dr Maxine Lewis, ‘Critiquing the critics: intersectional readings of ancient world scholarship.’ This was a very eye-opening lecture, and it made me realise just how important intersectionality is in my own work relating to provincial management and imperialism. 

I want to emphasise also just how supportive the atmosphere was today. Everyone who presented received excellent feedback and questions and conversations often spilt over into break times. I met some lovely people today, and look forward to getting to know them better over the rest of the conference.

Tomorrow is the second day of the conference. I’ll be live tweeting/instagraming when I can throughout the day and through the evening at the conference dinner. I hope you’ll tune in through Twitter, Instagram or my personal blog @sassy-cicero-says.

Thinking about Lisp, software development and collaboration.

So like I've been reading a lot of Paul Graham's On Lisp, and Doug Hoyte's Let Over Lambda, and it's been... interesting.

Cut to spare the timeline.

Like, I don't pretend that I understand these works completely, or that I have anything more than a semi-functional understanding of Lisp — most of my work on Lisps have been on Emacs Lisp, which is really showing it's age, and I've honestly never touched macros in any reasonable level, because honestly speaking macros have a frightening reputation. Thanks to Graham and Hoyte's walkthrough of some of the concepts, though, I think my understanding's a little better, though it can only be tested if I can implement stuff on Common Lisp, if that day ever comes.

What struck me about the commentary was that, well, how much both Hoyte and Graham are fans of the language, and how they often extol its virtues. To both of them, Lisp is something that transcends other languages, that allow programmers to do things that are closer to the problem domain than anything else that people have made. That, when you make a programming language approach the kind of power, extensibility and flexibility that Lisp does, surprise! You've made another flavor of Lisp.

This is a seriously grand claim, but I kept being bugged by one question:

If Lisp Was So Good, Why Isn't It Used More Often?

Like, seriously, I kept reading these claims, and to some degree I could see them backing these claims with examples... and yet if you look at Common Lisp and Scheme projects on the Internet... they're like... scattered and fragmented. You can code, and most importantly, an overwhelming number of people do, from the beginning to the end, full-stack web applications in JavaScript. Lua gets used in everything from window managers to video games customization to desktop widgets. Python's still prevalent in web development to data sciences, and yes, some video games are customized in Python. Like, Ruby was everywhere for a while before it receded.

Like the only exceptions to this are, I guess, Emacs Lisp, which basically sticks with Emacs, and Clojure, which is tied to the JVM, and ClojureScript, which outputs JavaScript. Note how reliant they are on other software and frameworks.

The Answers I've Seen So Far

So, what gives? Like, I've been looking around, and I've seen basically two answers:

Lisp Isn't Popular Because People Are Stupid

No, seriously. This is the argument. Paul Graham engages in it:

People frightened by Lisp make up other reasons for not using it. The standard excuse, back when C was the default language, was that Lisp was too slow. Now that Lisp dialects are among the faster languages available, that excuse has gone away. Now the standard excuse is openly circular: that other languages are more popular.

(Beware of such reasoning. It gets you Windows.)

Popularity is always self-perpetuating, but it's especially so in programming languages. More libraries get written for popular languages, which makes them still more popular. Programs often have to work with existing programs, and this is easier if they're written in the same language, so languages spread from program to program like a virus. And managers prefer popular languages, because they give them more leverage over developers, who can more easily be replaced.

Hoyt engages in this, as well:

Macros have, not by accident, almost as much history as lisp itself, being invented in 1963 by Timothy Hart[MACRO-DEFINITIONS]. However, macros are still not used to the fullest possible extent by most lisp programmers and are not used at all by all other programmers. This has always been a conundrum for advanced lispers. Since macros are so great, why doesn't everybody use them all the time? While it's true that the smartest, most determined programmers always end up at lisp macros, few start their programming careers there. Understanding why macros are so great requires understanding what lisp has that other languages don't. It requires an understanding of other, less powerful languages. Sadly, most programmers lose the will to learn after they have mastered a few other languages and never make it close to understanding what a macro is or how to take advantage of one. But the top percentile of programmers in any language are always forced to learn some sort of way to write programs that write programs: macros. Because it is the best language for writing macros, the smartest and most determined and most curious programmers always end up at lisp.

I mean, the argument is pretty clear: because Lisp is so powerful, and that it takes so much study and effort to work at it, that only top-tier programmers are the only ones who understand Lisp. Implied, however, is the assumption that if you don't get Lisp, well, you're not a top-tier programmer, and you Just Don't Get It.

Which gets to the second explanation of why Lisp isn't popular:

Lisp Users Are Assholes

I mean, the above quotes are a sampling, and, honestly, a mild one, of the perceived attitudes of Lisp aficianados to the outside world. And it doesn't help that Hoyt then proceeds to call other non-Lisp Languages “Blub”, which, despite his many attempts to soften the blow, just makes him sound like an asshole. Like, you could have said “other languages”, dude. Sure it's less efficient, but you're dealing with people, not machines.

Like, Mark Tarver has an essay about the assholishness of Lisp users, which I don't recommend you read, because CONTENT WARNING ableism1. Maybe if you wanna take a look at commentary on that, you can go for Rudolf Winestock's The Lisp Curse, which is a little better, I guess?

Lisp is so powerful, that it encourages individual independence to the point of bloody-mindedness. This independence has produced stunningly good innovation as in the Lisp Machine days. This same independence also hampers efforts to revive the “Lisp all the way down” systems of old; no “Lisp OS” project has gathered critical mass since the demise of Symbolics and LMI.

[...]

Why [doesn't the Lisp community] make a free development system that calls to mind some of the lost glories of the LispM, even if they can't reproduce another LispM?

The reason why this doesn't happen is because of the Lisp Curse. Large numbers of Lisp hackers would have to cooperate with each other. Look more closely: Large numbers of the kind of people who become Lisp hackers would have to cooperate with each other.

The argument is, commercially, if you're a brilliant asshole, no one wants you. While your brilliance would be an asset for a while, what really makes organizations and enterprises scale isn't the fact that they hire brilliant people, but that they hire and use people brilliantly, in ways that are robust and don't rely on having the Right Kind of People on board. It's also why computer security is such a fucking thing to get right, because most of the solutions seem to be... hire the best in the industry and go with that? Which works great until your Chief Security Officer gets run over by a bus a better offer from the competition. Then what?

I mean, yes, capitalist models rely on you having a development workforce that is fungible, because it is cheaper in the long run, but it also reduces risk, even if reducing labor costs aren't a thing for you. It's also more democratic that way, because, yes, you need it to be accessible and approachable to the people who are affected by your code. And it needs to be reproducible, because if not, what if it's scientific work and we need to verify it?

But, even then, this diagnosis — that, charitably, the expressiveness of Lisp attracts brilliant assholes who can't even be convinced to work with one another rankles, because it fundamentally means that there's no solution. The language is too good for normies, and only assholes will use it, ∴ that's the end. Nothing more can be said.

I wonder if there's more to it. And I suspect there might be.

The Social Models Around Lisp Might Actually Be Toxic

Notice the commonality around the four people I've quoted above?

Yup.

They're all white dudes.

I'm not saying that the Lisp community is so toxic because the loudest voices within Lisp are all white men. I'm saying that the fundamental assumptions that these white men have about what is good might actually be a reason why Lisp's community might be so toxic.

There's a difference. Bear with me.

Graham actually talks about the process of developing software in Lisp — the bottom-up approach — but he talks about it in a way that assumes that development occurs with a single person, and that the final vision of the problem space is the insight of one person, or a small group of people with a common enough vision: sort of a Cathedral-style system. Does it have to be?

Why can't bottom-up development occur in a collaborative, cooperative system? Sure, Lisp “doesn't have syntax” (which always weirded me out — it does have syntax, just one that's “invisible” and “self-evident” to a certain class of mind). One that eschews the models that we're used to in capitalist and hegemonic systems. If Lisp is one of the purest forms of mathematical expression, what Hoyt refers to as a “U-Language”, shouldn't it be universally accessible and open to critique?

Maybe the reason why Lisp doesn't work is because the social models around Lisp — one that erases and diminishes the contributions and the lives of people who aren't white men of a certain analytical mindset — make it fail. Maybe whiteness — the social construct, one that lionizes individual brilliance of a specific kind, emphasizes competition over collaboration, pretends that there is an Objective™ Truth over the experiences of others, and considers all emotions other than violent, abusive ones weakness — is the reason why Lisp fails, despite its expressiveness and power.

Maybe the way to do it is to change the way people learn Lisp, and work with Lisp, and collaborate with Lisp, rather than the model we have today.

Could something like that, a system that allows easy, safe collaboration, and organisations that deliberately go for minority and disadvantaged groups, be something that could kick Lisp out of its doldrums?

He calls these people “brilliant bipolar minds”, because, of course. Just because you can diagnose the problem doesn't mean that you don't have the problem as well. ↩︎
