Oh noes!  Don&#x27;t give people these bad ideas!  :)<p>In all seriousness, I worked with a bright guy who was a lot of fun to work with, but every once in a while his exuberance for this sort of thing would find itself in code that other people had to read&#x2F;maintain.  One particular example, he implemented a small subset of Lisp encoded into PHP arrays and it was used throughout some test code.<p>He effectively proved you could write PHP in a Lisp style and that PHP programmers overwhelmingly hate PHP flavored Lisp.
