A very bold claim considering https://cv.hexstream.expert/#education.

"Computer Programming at Collège de Bois-de-Boulogne (completed 4 terms out of 6) 2003 – 2005 (2 years) Montréal, Québec, Canada

Grade: Best of my class in programming

[...]

I introduced and explained the concept of an event loop to one of my computer science teachers.

I dropped out for personal reasons.", see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coll%C3%A8ge_de_Bois-de-Boulog...

Did you mean to present an argument of some sort?

You don't need to be a race car driver to debunk a sales man trying to tell you "This is the best car in the world!".

My advice to you is to be humble, you're clearly passionate about Lisp and turn that into a positive thing. Saying Lisp is the best language in the world is a sweeping statement, something a snake oil salesman would put across.

Common Lisp really IS the best programming language in the world, though. This is a statement of fact.

We could do a better job of proving it and demonstrating it to the world, and it would be easier to do it faster with funding.
