As a lisp hacker in the foothills of WA, I think that the OP&#x27;s article is fairly stupid. I&#x27;m over here on the extreme; I wish that my types had <i>more</i> power, that I could do <i>more</i> things with my Lisp macros to more deeply affect live functions. The thing I&#x27;m always looking for is how to say more with less, with more expressivity, with more power, and more clarity, but with less code, less complexity.<p>oh well. I&#x27;ll just have to write some Lisp tonight. :-)
