Ignorant lispnik doesn't know the difference between duck typing and dynamic typing but thinks they're the same thing because he can't conceive of anything Lisp hasn't done first. Shocking.

Surely you'd get duck typing through generics

On second thought, Lisp did beat python to duck typing (and I'd presume smalltalk beat lisp). IF YOU'D READ YOUR SICP, you would recall that closure-objects dispatch on the method name (or duck typing). Duck typing is a misnomer anyway because it has nothing to do with the type system.

The thing about >>48-kun and his like is that being willfully ignorant enables you to put down a thing without understanding it first. It especially helps if you do not understand your own position very well at all either. Lisp doesn't have ``duck typing'' in exactly the sense that Lisp doesn't name any of its features ``duck typing''.

GUI in java wouldn't be so annoying if the tutorials didn't all use java's own ASS ON HAT RETARDED standard (read: non-null) layout(s).
That and they usually hide what you want amongst 1000 other methods and superclass/abstract methods.
