6. Does irreparable brain damage to students taught with it, stripping them of any vestiges of pragmatism. Clean! Hygeine!

By 'irreparable brain damage' you mean Satori?
>>13
I'm assuming you're referring to Common Lisp. If you think an imperative language will get you closer to satori than a functional one you're an idiot.
Uncanny similarities:
1.Targeted at beginners.
2.NULL
3.Used as educational language.
4.Hides complexity of underlying system.
5.Incapable of attracting serious developers.

There are still flamewars today over whether Scheme really counts as Lisp.
I propose that by the abandonment of traditional Lisp macros or at least by the reduction of their prominence by disinclusion of this feature from revisions to reports in adherence to a neurotic notion of ``cleanliness'' and ``hygeine'' Sceme is no longer a ``real'' Lisp.

The original Lisp didn't have macros in the first place. I agree completely.

It did, however, construct programs as lists.

Scheme is a Lisp, the best Lisp. Without Scheme, Common Lisp wouldn't even have lexical scope and be dead by now.
Schemers innovate, Common Lispniks disguise their lacking understanding of language design as ``worse is better'' or ``organic''. Schemers create language improvements like proper tail calls, lexically scoped macros and reifiable continuations, CLers rehash their poorly thought out features.
Where CL claims to be a Lisp because it adopts historical mistakes, Scheme is a Lisp because it has been continuously ahead of its time and always will be.

Scheme has relegated Lisp to being an academic curio. Death to all schemers.

Surely you mean that Schemers dabble in abstract bullshite while Lispers mostly ignore them. Lexical scope is the only practical thing to come out of Scheme. And I don't mean some ``lexically scoped macro'' bullshit that nobody uses, including Schemers.
