this was an interesting quote in a comment:
Name: LispM veteran stuck with UNIX/Windows
Greenspun's Tenth Rule of Programming: "Any
sufficiently-complicated C or Fortran program contains
an ad-hoc, informally-specified bug-ridden slow
implementation of half of Common Lisp."
i wonder if that applies to perl itself or to any large parl project?
what gets me about die hard lispers is how they think that purity of
language is so important (just like general ripper's purity of essence
in dr. strangelove :).
