Since `switching' (eh-he) from Common Lisp to Haskell, the only thing I consider a step back is not the lack of macros or the disability to use dynamic typing in the rare cases it beats static typing, but the terrible irregular syntax, which is only made worse with the ability to introduce new infix operators.
(And yeah, I kind of know about Liskell. How does it deal with normal Haskell code?)

er.. I learned haskell and though, this is only better lisp in the following areas: support, libraries, IRC, community. I continue to use lisp.

I like the parenthesis, simple syntax is fantastic. I prefer Scheme to CL though, so much cleaner.

Ducks are Touring complete. They move across a (theoretically) infinite river in either direction. They have memory. In each step, they can catch fish, take a dump, or quack.
