&quot;SQL is the worst form of database querying, except for all the other forms.&quot;<p>LOL.

The purpose of this article is not to change anyone&#x27;s mind, but to reassure people already interested in using Lisp-- people who know that Lisp is a powerful language, but worry because it isn&#x27;t widely used. In a competitive situation, that&#x27;s an advantage. Lisp&#x27;s power is multiplied by the fact that your competitors don&#x27;t get it.&quot;
