> Yes, writing Lisp is much more "fun" than writing Go for me. But writing Go is much more productive and maintainable (both for solo projects and for larger groups).
I heard ASP.Net WebForms get this defense, that no other platform could handle the "enterprise" needs for maintainability and every other platform was just building a pile of cowboy spaghetti code.
Well, an anecdotal counter-evidence is that we have some WebForms apps maintained by another team in our company and the developers from that team seem very happy and are productive enough to meet reasonable deadlines. I despise WebForms but that doesn't mean anything from a product managers perspective.

Turns out it just sucked.
