Bad things about LISP

Name: Anonymous 2007-07-30 8:06 ID:E63qCOgk

Yes, I know Lisp is amazing satori, etc. But that's not the purpose of this thread. Here we list the crap things about Lisp (scheme, cl, whatever) and how we could improve it

1) Cannot produce independant binaries
2) Excessive parens can lead to an unreadable mess
3) Not much use outside of small configuration scripts
4) Not embeddable or extensible (biggest flaw yet IMO)

It wouldn't be such a mess is lisp "hackers" realised they could unindent closing parens.
