@jk hey for the last of us they made their own dsl in racket. And still shipped! Pretty sure they didn’t add more control rods for that. (Can’t believe that I’m arguing that smart people can sometimes ship…)

These days, you've got Lua and Python and Guile and MRuby and Tcl and Squirrel and so on, so you don't really need a Lisp at all.

Anyway, Ruby is the best Lisp you'll ever need.

@mebassett @jk It was actually created for the Uncharted series (and used for Last of Us as well). But even within Naughty Dog it made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.

@danl1240 @jk yes I met part of the team at racketcon way back when where we gave dueling talks about how we sneaked racket past our corporate overlords. (We had found a bug in the multiprocessing library that caused random crashes and took us like a month to narrow down into its smallest reproducible sample but I talked about sneaking racket past managers instead)

@mebassett @jk they also shipped quite well during the Jak and Daxter years.
