Now I'm confused. I've heard that we should learn and appreciate that nothing is new under the sun and most interesting concepts and technologies have already been invented in the past and not newly by newer technologies. Now you're saying that newer technology consistently improve things? I'm getting confused as to how the older hive mind is telling me to feel.


Concept and implementation are not the same thing. The concept of LISP hasn't changed in 50+ years, but the implementations have been constantly improving the whole time.

Maybe that means it's not a hive mind? Different people have different views, I suppose.
