It demonstrates some *really* crummy programming.
How so?
Where do I start:
A) In place sorting (mutation in place very non-lispy)
B) List splitting (What?)
C) Always allocating on CONS
D) Inability to handle circular lists
E) Inability to handle improper CONS cell
Basically lots of things to paper over the big fail:
F) No garbage collection. The Boehm GC system for C was well known by 1996.
Using it would have enabled a really good C implementation of Lisp-like
primitives.
